Im new to the celica world, so i need your expertise. I jus bought a coilover kit on ebay, and I figure I might as well replace the struts with new ones. My driving style is back and forth to work with some spirited turning when I run into some nice curves. I basically need to know what a good strut would be. I want to keep the price under 400, and will proabally do the install myself. Any advice? Also why do all 4 struts have 4 different part numbers?
thanks Madmods |

I just installed the KYB GR2s myself this weekend. Pretty good strut, and a little better than stock in my opinion. If you use it for going to and from work like me, that's pretty much the way to go. I'd recommend buying all the strut mounts as well (the front mounts come with bearings, the rears don't need them) new dust boots, (kybs come with an integrated bumper). If you buy from tire rack, you can get the boots (all four), two rear struts, two rear mounts, and two front cartridges. You'll have to get the other mounts from someone like Advance Auto (they carry the kyb front mounts) With pneumatic tools and a lift, this job still took me around 7 hours since it was my first time. I disconnected my brake hoses to get the struts out easier, so you gotta bleed the brakes, too. Good luck.
