need confirmation before i buy it...........

I'm about to buy a set of used stock 98 SE shocks, but my car is a 96 GXE, so would it fit fine? I mean its all 4th generation, i dont see how it cannot fit, but just to make sure. PLease, can someone confirm this before i get it.

Don't buy used struts. Not wise. It's like marrying a hooker, they could look nice on the outside, BUT you really don't know how much wear and tear she's really had on the inside.

Use hookers instead of struts. Softer ride.

TRUE, same as marrying a stripper or a pornstar. May seem like a great deal.

But, if you married her things would most likely change. No matter how high mileage she is.

not necessarily . . . just give a good tune up, lube her up good, and she's good to go for a while

Ha, so just maintain her well for a while, then trade her in for a newer model.

Jar, who told me he was looking to help you sell your K-Sports so you could pickup his stock suspension from the 4th gen he just sold. I know he ran the AGX/Eibachs for some time. If he says the stockers are in good condition then I back that up. Correct me if I'm wrong or if things have changed since I last spoke with him...
