ok here it is . i was in the junkyard today and i fund a fouth gen . and i was looking at the struts and springs . it has H&R springs but i cant see what kind of shock it is red anyone know.. anyways he wants 200 for all 4 struts and springs is that a good deal... thanks

 

It could be a great deal, it could be a bad deal - unless you know the miles that are on the suspension and exactly what struts they are, its hard to judge.

 

well the max has 120k on it , so i know it has less then that.. the front struts have a dial on them i guess that is a ride ajustment but the back does not if that helps

 

I, personally, wouldn't buy any suspension components that are over 20k old.

 

so you are going with not a good deal then . i am not shur what to do thanks..

 

If I was in your shoes, I would NOT buy the springs/struts.

 

I wouldnt pay 200 for them.

 

Sounds like KYB AGX's but the rears have a adjustment **** on the lower portion of the strut and the adjustments for the front are on top of the strut post accesible from the engine bay.

 

i bet they are kyb agx's...

but whatever they are, dont buy them unless u can get spring/struts fr like 200 or less

 

the ajustment **** was not at the top is was on the side and there was know ajustment **** on the rear i don think ...he wants 200 firm what do you guys think..

 

I wouldn't. They could be blow, or close to going. who knows. i supposed you could spend $200 and learn the hard way or get lucky. Might as well buy something that you know and is new.

 

good deal if everything works fine and hasn't been on long... but how would you know that?

 

put pressure on the car and seee when it comes back up if theyre blown or not....if they are the car will be real easy to bounce up and down...if its stiff theyre good

 

mmmm I love a good junk yard find .... I gotta go to the junk yard soon for fun and see what I can come up with ..... if theyre red then its kyb agx like everyone else said....H+R's are good springs, they sell for over 200 alone and thats new new ... so id say go for it ... take him down to 175 and say take it or leave it ....what kinda rims on the car??? .... interior color ??? ..fog lights, if u get something for me that I need ill pay you well !

 

well, does the car have rims and tires on it? perform a bounce test for the struts. springs typically dont go bad, so there's really no risk there. if they are adjustable, try giving a bounce test on every setting, and see how different it is.. if they pass, and on the highest setting the car is very hard to push down i say go for it.

 

what years and what color is it?

 

i think it is a black 99 but could be a 97-99

 

its not worth a 200$ gamble. they are probably blown or wont last long. just go but new

 

I would talk him down. It is a good find and I would say stay around the $150 range. I bought used springs for a little less than 100. but its up to you. I would do it.

 

why assume they're blown? when my car got wrecked i left the suspension on. Not worth the time and effort to take it off. Progress and KYB's everything was good

 

well, tell him you'll take 200 with a guarantee that theyre not blown.

 

how can i tell if they are . i have to put them on my car right...

 

Before you decide to buy them Id determine just what kind of struts they are first.
They sound like AGX's but you said the the adjustment **** was on the front, KYB's have them on the reer and look like this,..

The fronts have them on the strut post which you adjust with a small flathead screw driver.

 

The safest best would be to just buy the springs cheap and get new struts.

 

what color is the car could be my brother totaled 99? is it black?

 

the car is black but there is not damage to the car it just didn't pass inspecshon so someone junked it..
