H & R Spring compatibility
i dropped my car off at a local mechanic with my H&R's to be put on my 98. well, he called me a little bit ago and said that the spring doesn't fit right, like it's too big. i have the SE struts in front. does anyone have any experience with these? he said (and i already knew) that one of the struts are blown anyways. should i spend a little extra cash and get kyb gr2's? would they fit the H & Rs? any help would be appreciated. thanks!

KYB's, Tokicos or the stock struts will work with H&R's. If you don't upgrade the struts they won't last as long on a lowered car, though there are some people on this board who report no problems with stock struts on H&R's.

that's what i figured as well. he also said he needs the part "between the strut mount and the strut" i think is what he said. would he just be talking about a bushing inbetween the two or what? it's been awhile since i've had my suspension apart.....

The bushing thing he is talkin about is the bump stop. That save you from bottoming out. If you decide to go with kyb get the bumpstop and boot kit. Will cost you about 40-50 bucks for all 4 corners

If you go with oem bump stops and boots it will fit..Just that if you go with KYB the kyb bumpstops and boots will fit better. Either way u'll be fine. You should be able to keep what you have on your car already if they are not worn out.

Thanks, just trying to figure out exactly what I'm going to need to do when I go to the AGX's next month.

well, i'd love the kyb agx units, but they're a little out of my price range at this moment. besides, i've got some g/c coilovers sitting aside for koni's only. so i'm gonna build a setup with those :-D

Re: H & R Spring compatibility
GR-2s and Tokicos are direct replacement for your stock shocks/struts. I had my stock SE suspenion replaced with H&Rs and Toks not too long ago. No problem here. I had my mechanic do it, too.
