jeez its gonna be 80 for rear strut mounts?

more drop then any other springs.. eibach was 1.2

h&r was 1.6 f and 1.4 rear.. i want to be even

i thought i had to replace the strut mouts with monroe mounts?




i used those as a demonstration on what i need thanks, i found a set of 2 rear for the same price as 1 kyb rear mount. and found a full monroe fromt set a little cheaper.

I ordered a replacement strut for my destroyed AGX if you are not in a super rush I should be able to get it in soon and give a proper review with a properly installed product.

sleepyalero 12-10-2012 08:49 PM

i appreciate that but im not looking to get agx right now :(

sleepyalero 12-13-2012 10:31 AM

Well my canuck springs came in yesterday, look sweet. Still need to spend around another 350-400$ on struts, strut mounts front/rear, boot kits front and rear. Then I'll finally have her lowered.... Few more weeks.

if you look under item specifics it says "Part brand: monroe/expert series"

sleepyalero 12-13-2012 11:48 AM

Didnt even notice! Thanks for that, although I wonder if it comes with the hardware like this one does...

I try! Usually down to help out in some way!

It probably does, just wish they would show in picture.

sleepyalero 12-13-2012 09:50 PM

Just so you guys know I'm not lying.... ;)

Canuck springs :) there is 4 they are just inside each other.


tw0123 12-14-2012 12:05 AM

NICE!!! you going to have them powdercoated blue to match the rest of your theme you have going, or leave them red??

p.s. I will let you know on the strut mounts, I have my mechanic neighbour checking his prices at work... the dealership can get stuff shipped in cheaper than I can hahaha :) really appreciate the offer, thanks!!

If it doesn't work out let me know.

That is an awesome idea actually. Idk ill have to think about it but ill probably leave them red. Unless I can't get the job done cheap, and I mean cheap. It was 10$ extra for my modified heater tube to be powder coated blue from MMS. I'll have to see how much 4 springs would cost around here. Depending on the struts I get they will either be black or silver. Just depends which one I can find cheaper. If I get silver I won't want to get them powder coated black. Then I probably wouldn't bother with coating the springs blue...

Yet silver and blue would also look good. Ahh you came up with an awesome idea now I don't know what I want to do...

xXManwhoreXx 12-14-2012 10:30 AM

My buddy does powder coating sleepy I'll ask him

tw0123 12-14-2012 03:14 PM

I'm surprised you hadn't thougut of that given your theme!! :) just make sure yiu ask them how it would hold up with the travel of the suspension ... it just hit me that it migut crack and chip over time and have to be redone or look really funky with red/blue springs... the spiderman springs hahahaha

mfuller 12-14-2012 05:11 PM

Don't powdercoat them, or heat them in any way. You're asking for problems on something you'll never see.
