Ok, so everything on my car is running beautifully. There's just one main problem with the car, and that's that the shocks are pretty much on their last legs. I don't know how hard it is to do myself.. all I know is that I've never done it haha. I don't know what brand is best, or exactly what the heck I need to buy.
Also, on a slightly related note, if anyone knows about good strut bars and who I should contact that would be great. I have a VIS hood though, which will NOT go down if there's ANYTHING even slightly hitting it. So I guess I'm just trying to see if all the engine bay struts will not arch too high for my style hood. Thanks for the help in advance. --------------------  |

While I could be wrong, according to my friend who rebuilds Sunbeams, unless you lower a car or your spring goes (you'd notice the car sagging on one side), springs rarely have to be replaced. He's saying that it's most probably the struts. I'll have to look up KYB GR2's. Is that a company or a member here? Sorry for the stupid questions.
Btw, any clue on the strut bars? -------------------- |
