Question about KYB GR-2 Struts....

Im getting some S-Tech Tein springs, and was looking into KYB GR-2 struts. Now my question is why are the years of the vehicles all different?

http://www.horsepowerfreaks.com/perf...pension/Shocks

The fronts are 93-01?
The rear are 93-00? WTF? lol

I have an 02 does that mean I can't get these? These years seem all messed up to me. Arn't 98-2002 corolla's suspensions all the same?

Oh by the way are these guys good to buy from?

Suspension parts between 1993-2002 are interchangeable.

Those prices are okay.... but not the best. Look up "jdmwerks13" on ebay.

Also keep in mind the drop with S.Techs are pushing the KYB-GR2 past their design specs. They'll still work - but their optimally design for suspensions with less than a 1.7" drop. Those S.Techs, after settling, usually are in the 2"+ range and they tend to sag over time. Even a little "heavier" strut, like Tokico Blues have that greater than 1.7" drop warning.

I guess 17inch rims wouldn't fit with S tech tein springs huh? What springs would be good with KYB struts then?

something milder like H-techs or Eibach Pro-kit springs

S-techs are more suited to Tokico HPs and/or Koni Yellows
