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 think my springs are gone as well. When I go over speed bumps, I hear a loud "squeeeky squeeky squeeky" from the front, then the back as I go over them. The slower, the worse it is ironically.

Per the loud noise.. its gone. Maaco (the bastards lol) didn't put my rubber pads back on in the underside of my hatch lid, so the lid was banging on each and every nump on the road. It's fixed now.

I need to get my friend to look at the car this week. It could be struts, springs,.. or most probably both. I'm not looking forward to the bill lol, but eh...what needs to be done, needs to be done.

Per the rallyx thing, I wouldn't be doing that in this car, so it wouldn't matter . Good to hear about the TRD strut bars. I'll be sure to get those instead of the non-name brand ones to make sure it fits under my hood.

Thanks guys.
