I'm Getting Springtechs, Have 85 Thou Miles On Her

[OpalaAlero]

I'm getting springtechs, have 85,000 miles my car, is it absolutely essential to get struts? I dont wanna have to pay 200 for struts, when i'm paying a little more than half that for the springs. but I will if I have to I guess.

i didnt change my struts out... 83K here. no problems, rides a little rough, but i hear the same even with strut upgrades, nothing to compare it to i guess, so i dont know/feel if i'm missing out. and i'm satisfied with how it rides and performs as it is.

Whats funney is on was on Ebay earlier looking at springtech springs.

[Redog]

You're going to have to change them soon anyway, do it now and get it over with

[FormulaNERD]

soon, why do you say that?

[Redog]

Supposed to change out struts at 50,000

[FormulaNERD]

i see... mine were in good shape, i'm guessing they have been replaced before.

[OpalaAlero]

Thats what i'm thiniking about mine, they may have been changed.

Does anyone know how to make my struts go bad? I have 60K on my car and I would like my warrenty to replace my struts since they are getting a little soft and have my springs installed for free.

Let me drive your car? :lol:

I dunno. It's kinda hard to make your struts go bad without messing something else up.

Go find some speedbumps and run over them at 50mph a few times. That will provide for some rough landings.

oh I already launchmy car on a daily basis over the train tracks by my work. I get at least 6inches of air. I also drive the hell out of it in cornering. Although I think driving through tampa is the worst on my suspension. All this Is why I thought my struts would of been done by now. Now I wonder why my tires which are goodyear eagles gp-h's with 22k and have a 60k warenty are shot :unsure: :P

Mine were bad at 80K you can tell cause the damn things just sat there instead of rising any...I replaced with the KYB and it holds okay...do it now.

Struts are nomral wear and tear. If you snap one, I doubt they with replace it

[AGT]

I know they won't.

[OpalaAlero]

[AGT]

[OpalaAlero]

[SouthDakotAlero]

Just got my SpringTech's in the mail today. Where is the cheapest place to get the KYB struts? I have 45,000 miles on my car and I don't really want to spend a lot on the struts.
