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 disconnected my brake hoses to get the struts out easier, so you gotta bleed the brakes, too.  Good luck.

Why did you bleed your breaks? You didn't have to do that? All you had to do was unscrew the breakline from the mount, and that's it. Then just slide your strut from the knuckle. biggrin.gif

when you take loose a break line you need to bleed it to get out any air that got in.
