Springs and Struts Upgrade

HotRod11686 · 01-06-2008, 10:40 PM

Ok so I am finally upgrading the springs / struts on the ho and after reading all the threads im gonna go with the KYB GR2 struts and for springs im getting Sprint springs.

Now my question is:

What else do I need to complete the strut upgrade. I need the strut boot and strut mount. Is there anything else im missing from that list? Also can someone give me some help as to exactly what strut mount and boot I would need for the KYB's. A link to an ebay auction would really help me out.

Lastly I would like to ask about installation. Is it hard enough to do that I would have to take it to a professional or would I be able to do it with the right tools. Does it require removal of any other components in order to replace the strut, etc.

Any and all information is greatly appreciated.

Thanks again

you can re use the upper strut mounts, stock ones dont get chewed up too bad if you've had stock springs and struts.

spend a little extra and get the KYB AGX struts

are they worth the investment?

also

I wanted to ask if dropping using the Sprint (1.75" front/rear) would be ok with my 18" rims or would that be a problem?

you'r able to drop ~3 inches with 18s without rubbing and yes, i would invest the extra money for the AGX's

You gotta remember, the $269 is for 2 agx's, not 4 like the $272 for the gr2s
