maxspeed cheapest springs around 90 dollars kyb gr2's struts are also good but not adjustable. 150-250 bucks

if your going to spend money on your suspension get the best. get some tein or eibachs with some kyb agx

too bad once you spend that money, you will probably have to get new dust boot, new strut bearings, and pay for instalation.


I just paid 540 for my kit, and then 48 for strut bearings, and Cross drilled double slot rotors for 240, new PBR metal masters for 82, and my install will be 180.
total is 1090. I didn't even get new boots cuz I'm all out of money.

I got mine for 350 if you remember. Progress and KYB GR-2

+ 44 for KYB strut boots
+ 60 for strut mounts
+100 for mzmtg to install
$$$554

Now the cheap way I was gonna go before hte Progress/GR-2 GD came was this:
Maxspeed springs - 90
KYB GR-2 - 230
Strut Mounts(I don't know if yours are bad, I never paid attn) - 60
KYB Stut Boots - 44
Install - $100

You can buy used stuff, but it is up to you. You prob can take off the strut mounts, but I would change them anyways.
