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.

Its fairly self explanatory but it would help having someone there thats done it before, once you've done it once you can do it again especially with macpherson strut.

If I were you I'd go KYB, monroe and gabrielle are fairly cheap, ive never used them myself but I know they are a cheap shock.

You can go bilstein and koni which are better than kyb but you will have to do some modding on the rear as they come with just the inserts and not the entire assembly, so youd have to cut your existing shock.

really? i thought they were direct drop in, glad you mentioned that, how hard is it to modify?
