I've checked out sites for finding aftermarket parts for other cars. I've read the long and repetitive posts on the 3G struts being the same size, shape fit....and thats all well and good. Seeing as how I'm looking for a supremely cheap way to upgrade my 99 ES, I've gone on hunting parties into the depths of the junkyard. However finding aftermarket parts there is as exercise in futility. I was wondering if anyone out there can contribute to helping me find stock parts off of other cars that would fit the 8gs. The 3G strut bars, and 2G Stratus exhausts are a good start. But that just increases availability. Are there differences in spring tensions in 3Gs that would increase my car's handling? Are the stock spindles forged better? Does the cigarette lighter light faster? If I could get links to forums I may have not found or personal experience info on stock parts off of other cars fitting and out performing my stock parts. I'd appreciate it.
