3800 SPrINGS & STRUTS

[tommmy3]

So my 'check tire pressure ' guage was on and I didnt know why - It turns out that it was a back broken spring and strut. :angry:

so has anyone had to replace these on their car yet-
I looking to see if there are any other better ones out there than the factory OE. My mechanic told me that it is about $150 per strut and $50 per spring! does that seem high to anyone else?

I saw the koni package strut and spring combo on ZZP's website has anyone got that?

I asked him about the ones from PFYC and he said those were crap, but they are also 1/3 the price has anyone gotten these/

thanks for the help!
Im pissed its $600 I dont have right now!

I have KYBs 230 and Eibachs 230 from 3800Performance.Com

They ride good, a little hard, but it is a nice drop and they handle awesome.

We have a new set of performance struts on our website. They are approximetly 20% stiffer than stock and we have lowering springs (B+G) for as little as $199.99...

Be prepared to drop another $180 - $200 to change the strut mounts also. On my 80,000 mile 98' all four are shot.

D'oh!

Gmpp kit slides right in......

Its really not that expensive when all you guys start to add the strut, springs, strut mounts, little crap etc........

Then you have to get a spring compressor and all that crap

Screw that........ h34r:

I am actually in the need for spring/strut also?
I was also wondering what would be the best way to go


I just decided to do some research today so we'll see.
But if anybody has done let me knwo about the pros and cons of what is available for out car.

did you ever get the bad one replaced?

 

[mybluegtp]

I would get the spring tech struts, they are great and cheap off www.suspensionmax.com and choose your springs from whom ever. If anyone needs help i can lend a hand. As for strut mounts I got my 2 fronts from GMPD not bad of a price and my rear ones were from a hook up from Uli.

I have the GMPP Struts/Springs...

I love the lowered stance without having to sacrefice the ride quality. The car handles better than it ever did before, and it looks better too.
