Smile Struts For My ae92 Wagon....

Hey guys!!!Been away for a while I know but Ive been peeking around from time to time to see wassup around here.I have a question.Im about to change the struts on my ae92 wagon and I was wondering what would be a good replacement.A friend suggested Bilsteins and I wanted to know if there was anything else that anyone would suggest.Keep in mind that the roads here in Jamaica are not nice to say the least.I need something thats very sturdy.My car is a 1989 model wagon.Any help would be appreciated!!!!

Tokico's don't make performance struts for AE92 SR5's and Sedan's only for GTS's I've already made that mistake..

The AE92 Sedan and SR5 Coupe have the exact same suspension setup but the GTS doesn't. That's why you'll see

1988-91 Toyota Corolla (Except GTS)

Hhmmm..I called my local parts dealer and he said he had struts to fit my car.I explained to him that my car had struts all around as opposed to struts at the front and shocks at the rear.He said he had struts all around for my car.Better take a look at them right???Btw,how expensive are Monroes???

hehe, who needs springs when you have elastomer bumpstops! ;P yeah, I mean you couldnt drive with springs that would tear your car apart, it would be such a harsh ride that you'd feel sick when you got out of your car ;P
