New Struts?

Josh125XR · 08-06-2006, 01:52 AM

OK where can I get new sets of Struts w/o paying a testicle?

Hoping $200 or less for all four.
I'm needing to get it done cause there wearing because it's starting to squeck when bouncing & I'd like to get the damn coilovers on now that Brian showed me such a pain in the a$$ they are to install!

"Useful replies only". Thanks

i dont think your gonna get all 4 for under 200. i did a quick online search and it looks like you can get a set from autozone for around 260$ and oreilly for around the same. dont know how good they are but im sure they are oem replacement so it should ride ok. told ya those coilovers were a PITA..lol

Yea Brian showed me on his rear strut from the cougar. I pulled a coilover out & when he tried to slide it onto the strut it hit by a hair. So he showed me that I need to basically shave the black peice of metal so it would slide down onto the strut. Then to cut the sleave I believe so that you can do the adjustment height on the coilovers. Does that sound right?

$260 huh...I guess I need a new job to get'em

No sh!t! How are these with handling? I wouldn't be doing it for show but for a better adjustable suspension for track use... let me know and you might have a buyer... $1,000 cash up front and we'll have a mod meet

I know I rode in it, but I believe we were really low to begin with I just don't really remember the ride
