Front stock struts

[spangs27]

Has anyone had to put new front stock sturts on there coablt yet. I just got back from inspection and the dealership told me that I needed new front struts. I am out of warranty and they are going to charge me $590 to do the job with a alignment. I called a couple of parts stores and they cannot get the stock one yet. To new of a car. Does anyone know of a place to get the front struts.

Could get FE5 struts. They are the ones that came on the SS/SC, should be readily available, and are direct bolt-ins.

anything is better then what you started with but if he is going to get an upgrade then goo 100% not 85% nothing against the route you went.

If 85% will do what you need it to then there is no need to spend the extra money for 100%. Both the FE5s and the Konis are a good improvement over the LT stock struts. Either is a viable option.

your not going to see me disagree.. but fe5 tend to not last long specialy with spirited driving and eibach prolines...

it really all depends on what you want to do.

oh agreed 100%. If you are going with an aggressive drop there is no doubt you need the Konis.
