Ok, I need some advice, Suspension/Strut Bars Options

[CastrolCelica]

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.

I'd try to get ahold of a trd 3pt. strut bar. Mine fits pretty snug in my bay. Plus if it doesn't fit I'm sure someone on here would want it from yea

yeah, the stock or trd strut bar might be the best option since he has an aftermarket hood. i know my cheapo front strut bar hits my hood.

my only suggestion though to the op is that if you get the tri point strut bar, and if you end up trying out rallycross later like we talked about, you would want to take it off whenever you go out. #1 that kind of part would bump you out of stock class, #2 a softer chassis in the front and stiffer rear helps rotate the car better in the dirt, and #3 tri point strut tower bars have been known to crack windshields after taking jumps and hard bumps in the front. a guy i talk to at work that used to do stage rally was telling me a lot about the first and only time he had a tri point strut bar and countless other people that had their windshields crack while running a stage. i had not taken that into account, so thats why i went with the cheap neon strut bar with the holes re drilled.
