KYB GR2 and Sprint
 
I've been searching around for a while and I plan on lowering my car for the first mod, just a little worried about clearance

rear:

front:

Springs:

and I plan on buying the boot kit from summit
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/KYB-SB104/

prices are pretty low on the stuts.. are they just dirt cheap or am I missing something?

wheels are stockers with 205/65R15
alignment I know is a must but will I need camber bolts as well?

im picking up those same struts. ill be installing those with my eibach springs since i already have those.

i have for tires, nexens 225/40R18 im clearing just fine and my car sits pretty low with the eibach springs
so i dont think you would run into any problem.

its definitly cheap for 20 bucks, iv looked around and they are going for about 60 bucks for an alero.
so good looks on the link, i might just have to order them from there if they have more in stock

*edit* yep theres 10 in stock for rear and 3 for front, im picking them up from here.
now i just need to get new strut mounts

Let us know how it goes, those are NOT the right struts for these cars. If you are going to buy from Summit (not a bad choice) use their website to find the right parts and save on shipping...

Front Struts - KYB-334229 - $58 each
Rear Struts - KYB-334295 - $56 each
Boot Kits - you got it
Springs - will fit

Do yourself a favor and replace the front mounts at the same time. Enjoy!

thanks for saving my ass on the wrong struts lol, but two of the 3 remaining sold. was that you lowpros? looks like I'll buy from summit

edit: just purchased springs...should ship tomorow

Haha sucks for the other guy haha good luck with the struts though man. You shouldn't have any clearance issues unless your pushing 18's with fat tires. :p

anyone recommend camber bolts with the sprint springs? they give a 1.75in drop both front and rear. and I don't want a ghetto ride..

cherrington17 11-14-2010 04:04 PM

no need to adjust camber with our cars and the drop involved...

03Sleepr 11-14-2010 06:37 PM

hok666 11-14-2010 08:14 PM

does your front or rear end squeak when going over bumps or turning? that how you know if they are going bad, I've also heard your car will shake when braking at highway speeds, but mine aren't that bad yet

wow thanks for the heads up now I know whats wrong with the cutlass
