sup fellas....need some help here...had my 97 ST for 7 years now....my suspension has been through alot of changes...first i had dropzone coilovers with KYB GR2 shocks...the cheap coilovers killed my shocks...then i decided to go with Koni shocks with Ground Control coilovers which most people thought was a very good setup...Tein are just too crazy expensive...now my shocks are dead again...i believe i lowered the car too low and being in a place with lots of potholes and bumps didn't help...i just wanna go back to stock set up...where can i buy a new OEM strut asssembly without messing with the springs and shocks...

any suggestions would be appreciated
KYB GR-2's = OEM replacement.

If you need OEM springs I have a set.

I'd be happy to sell you my rear OEM shocks...
i too have a oem suspension set at my house. BUT one of the front struts is bent.

btw how much did all your suspension cost you in the first place from beginning to end? probably near the cost of a tein setup.

yeah exactly...spent $400 on ground control coilovers then $600 on Koni adjustable shocks...i just wanna go back to stock...what is the closest spring to stock height?? dont want any drop...lots of potholes and bumps here in NYC...
well i just installed some eibachs 1.5 in sportlines and they are making alot of popping noises i know they will make some noise when first installed to adjust but how long will it continue? iv had them on for a good 1 and half weeks or more?
what's the closest i can get to stock height?? eibach prokit or tein S tech??

planning on getting KYB GR2

eibach pro-kit or trd springs



is the eibach pro-kit springs okay with the KYB GR-2 shocks?? do i have to get those boots inside the springs?? or does it come with it when i buy the eibach pro-kit springs?
letting u know get a order a boot seperate mine was ripped and i figured a new one would come with the GR2s but it didnt...they seals are really tight on them though so i just said screw it and but them on with no boot
