Wow, thoes are the same ones I put on my Dodge neon, after 1000 miles and a 2inch drop I blew all my struts (kyb GR-2). It turns out the spring is crap! it cant keep the car stable!
Also the threaded part is made of aluminume (my spelling sucks) and is held on by 3 hex head screws (its late and I cant remember the name) and they all stripped out when I tighted them down. The front will not hold and you will do what I did after 500 miles........40 miles from my house in downtown St. Louis the screws came out (becouse they could not hold) and I blew my 1st set of front struts! I had to drive all the way home 40miles with no front struts or springs what a rollercoster! Then had to buy a new set of struts and rethread the damn holes only for them to blow all 4 500 miles later!!! They are cheap, and like you've been told...You get what you pay for! J- |
