I have brand new kyb gr-2 struts on the back....were put on just before I bought the car. I have blown struts on the front ( factory ) I am riding on cut intrax on the front and cut eibachs on the back. My question to you guys is this should I get the TOKICO HP ( blues ) all the way around or just on the front seeing how my rears are still good. Should I get the KYB gr-2 for the front so they match. Also I am looking to get rid of my springs and get SPRINT extreme 3.25 in front and 3.00 in rear.

So the real question is get the
KYB gr-2 to match the rear
TOKICO "blues" for the front and have KYB gr-2 in rear
TOKICO all the way around

If I get just front struts I will have enough to get the springs also but If I get all 4 struts I cant get the springs for a few weeks

help me out guys

 

well if your rear struts are fine then id get the kyb to match. as far as the springs go...........why the hell would you want to lower the car that much??? 3.25 front, 3.00 rear. damn that's a bit much dont ya think? shit my eibach road race springs are a 2" drop an the car is pretty damn low!

 

Too dang low man. You will need camber correction like yesterday. The best solution for that is a full coilover set. Tein is on sale right now at www.speedupgrade.com. Or redo it the system. Riding on a cut spring is not my style. KYB's are realtively cheap and reliable. Get a set of that and a coil over sleeve set-up. That way, you can lower your car on your own spec.....

 

ok I just got from autosoltion and my ass is broke.

I want to get it out that I did not like riding on cut springs but I paid $30 from them. I was not complaining. I just ordered the matching front kyb's and I also ordered the skunk springs 2.25 in front and 2.50 in rear I belive is what chris told me I told him what I wanted and bought what he said I should buy.

Chahonda and thermalfi'd16 thank you for your advice

 

U da man.....let us know how it rides bro......

 

hopefully it will ride great..the ride I have now is great until I hit something in the road and the front struts bottom out. They will be in friday and I will have them on tuesday at work it is my only day off other than sunday. I wish I could get them on sooner but I have no garage or the proper tools...all my stuff is at work.....

 

do you have the old front struts or any others lying around that don't bottom out?

 

well if you want a car that low you wont be able to use factory bump stops. You will need use billy's bump stops or also called internal bump stops.

 

hey, boosted, stfu. you can still use stock bump stops. everyone i know still uses stock bump stops, including myself.
