Hi, I need front struts. Apparently I need the mounts as well.

I am not looking for top of the line or racing equipment. I just need a decent ride. Similar to OEM would be great. If it last 3 years I am happy.


Also, I am told I may also need the whole front suspension done eventually, I am told there are whole kits already put together where you just bolt it in already assembled. Any idea where to get these kits?


I looked over ebay and saw some cheapish struts for around 35 a piece, and what appears to be mounts for around 35 for a pair. I do not know if these will work or not so I was hoping someone with more knowledge had a good suggestion on what and where to get the parts.

Thanks in advance!

I'd reccomend teh KYB GR2 struts.
There definately not 35 bucks a piece, but they're cheap for the quality.
And if you ever decide to lower on springs, you'll still be able to do so on these.
As for the mounts KYB makes an OEM replacement mount.

All these are available on ebay for relatively cheap, I believe i ordered 4 struts and 4 top hats for around 400 total, last year.
