has anyone tried these?
Ok so I am in need of new Struts bad, I am currently saving to get some. I know most everone on here are riding on kyb agx, or gr2's. I just got some s techs and was wondering if anyone has had any experience with these that I found on eBay, or if I should just wait to get the kyb's? Keep in mind I don't have much to spend my budget is tight right now.

These are more in my budget but I don't want junk.

So its probably just better to spend the extra to get something that is known to be good? Another question, when I do get everything installed ( Struts and springs) in know ill have to get the camber fixed so for the back I can stack washers with a longer bolt to correct camber what about the front does anything needed to correct camber there?
-
you only need to adjust camber if you go full dampers and drop the car past 1.75" IIRC.
If your gonna do a camber adjustment just get a rear camber allignment kit and do it right. they are cost effective and adjustable.

Ok, I was mainly wondering if I needed something for the front also. Thanks
-
if your getting dampers(full coilovers) they should have a camber plate on the top of them so no need for one in the front.
-
I'm not getting full coilovers, I am lowering with Struts/ springs. I know about the camber plates on top of the front coilovers I was not asking about coilovers at all, but thank you for you advice. I was interested in strut / spring combos b/c that's what I will be using for now once I buy the stuts. Got my springs today! :) maybe in the future I will get coils but right now I am just riding on lowering springs.
-
in the front they make a bolt that allows you to adjust camber but IIRC you need a 2"+ drop in the front before its needed. however as cheap as they are you could still throw them in and let the alignment shop go from there.
-
I'll just wait till I get them installed and see what they look like after they settle.
-
how much is an electronic alighnment in your area. in my area it averages around $60. you can get a set of front bolts for $50 and below, would make more sense to do it all at one time rather than wait and have to pay for a Second alignment/install.
-
Right, that's the plan. But as far as the front bolts what do I need and were do I install them? I know the back side is either the shackles or spacers on the upper control ARM that bolts to the body. But I am not sure of the fronts.
-
thats the set. you can order them individualy or as a set. it says 1 box per wheel but its a typo. you only use 1 bolt per wheel. they go into the bottom bolt hole connecting the strut to the knuckle.
