FEllas fellas I have some progress springs I now just need struts. What site has the cheapest struts? Also, do I need anything else? like dust boots, bump stops, etc... and where do I find that? Thanks for all the help.

 

Check around in the For Sale forums or on eBay, there are usually some deals floating around there depending on what you want your max to ride like. If not check out Drews Site, thats a really good resource to find the best price online.

As far as bumpstops and dustboots, you really cant tell until you get the wheel off the car and get a good look at the struts to see if you need dustboots, and as far as I know the bumpstops should be replaced but I dont think its technically 100% necessary.

 

Try www.shox.com.

 

Not sure what suspension you're looking for, but:
KYB GR-2 suspension: http://www.taylorautomotive.com about $258 shipped.
KYB Dustboots with Bumpstops: call TireRack.com and order (2) SB103 and (2) SB108. They are for different cars, but they fit for us. I think (not 100% sure) that the SB103 is for the front and the SB108 is for the back.

If you want to, you can also replace:
Front Strut Mounts (OEM)
Front Strut Bearings (OEM)

Thanks for the info guys, my car has 80k miles on it therefore I will need to do the bumpstops, right? where do i get them? What struts do you guys recommend...I kinda want something medium range not to harsh but not to soft... will gr2's work or are they not good with progress? thanks guys

You don't need to get bumpstops if you get those KYB strut boots. Tirerack generally has the best price for them. Make sure you get SB103 & SB108. If they try to give you SB101, just say NO!! This happened to me and we had a b*tching time modding it to fit...

I would recommend either Tokico Illumina's or if you find them too expensive, go with Tokico Blue's in the front and KYB AGX in the rear. I ridden in both setups (but with H&R's), and these feel like pretty much stock, yet firm... not harsh at all IMO...

 

I am selling two brand new front Struts for 99 GLE I have. 120 Shipped. I had the replaced right before I put in My AGX struts. I only put 200 miles on them. If you interstead Send me an Email. or contact me on Aim, Cystums.

 

Best price I found for AGXs are $355 at www.cattman.com
