Kyb

[Henry0313]

Hey Hows It Going I Found Out The Kyb Only Has The Cartridge For My 91 Mr2,, Im Looking For The Whole Strut Assebly For My Front And Rear Can Anyone Help Me Out, If Kyb Dont Have Them What Are Other Good Struts Too Use?? Im Still Thinking About Megan Or Tein Springs

[Ghostyman]

Tokico or Koni are good. I've got Tokico 5-ways on my rear and I like them. Never heard anything bad about Koni Yellows.

For springs, I've got H&Rs all around and they work well but are a little bit too stiff for some people.

If you're going to get cheap parts, get cheap springs rather than cheap struts. Avoid cheap coilovers at all costs; Konis + springs will perform better and be cheaper.

YEA I JUST INSTALLED SOME TOKICOS IM MY FRIEND MIRAGE ON THE FRONT DID HAVE TIME FOR THE REAR AND THEY FELT GOOD.. HE GETTING MEGAN SPRINGS ON WE HAVE A FRIEND SPONSORED BY MEGAN AND NRG

SOME WHAT WOULD U RECOMMED THE TOKICO OR KONI..

WHAT SPRINGS ARE GOOD FOR TOKICO

Henry, please do not use all upper case when posting as per forum rules...
Why do you need the whole assembly?
I'm running KYB 4 ways. I bought them 5 years ago and put 50K miles on them.I like them fine..Plus it was only $225.00 for 2 fr and 2 rr.
When these wear out, I'm gonna go with coilovers.

I've had my KYB's for 4 or 5 years, too. I don't see why there would be any difference in replacing the whole strut as opposed to the cartridge and spring. It's not height adjustable like a coil-over or anything.

Except for the price for the whole strut assembly instead of just buying the cartridges and some HR Springs...

I wanned brand new struts thats why not just the catridge, but if im going too have too buy the catridge than im going with kyb and tein, megan or h&r's for springs i get deals on all of them.

Or i would get the Tokico full strut seal assembly for my front and rear,

and for strut bars im still thinking if i should get the 20 dollars of my shop or look for some trd or other brand..

and im going to paint my car bmw m3 red color

[Henry0313]

And my oil leak is not from rear raiming seal its from the oil pan so i save my self 350 dollars on that part

[Ghostyman]

Eh? Rear main seals are cheap. The problem is just that they're about the most difficult part to change without breaking open the engine. You have to remove the tranny and flywheel to get at it.

Are you sure the leak is coming from the oil pan?

[Henry0313]

Yea Its Coming From The Oil Pan I Could To That Myself But If The Rear Main Seal I Just Pay Him 350 To Do It
