so i'm back in the game and need struts

[hamburglar]

Hey guys
after 7 years of not having a SHO I bought another
it is a white 92
and I got it cheap because the struts in the back of 100% shot...

I was wondering where should I order good struts. Also, what brand of struts are good nowadays.
I've been out of the game for so long I have no idea anymore.
I should replace all 4 struts i'm assuming. maybe coil overs....?
I don't know, it depends on prices.

thanks guys

Monroes are good for a stock replacement. Konis are good for if you want a performance ride and plan to lower the SHO: SHO Source

so should i get springs as well. I've never really bought aftermarket suspension....
all the cars i've owned I bought with it already installed.

I bought my STi in Ames. I can't recall seeing that screen name before, but welcome back.

If you are looking at replacements for basically street driving, the Monroe Quick Struts are a fully assembled spring/strut assembly.

All you need to do is break the rear pinch bolts on your own!!

If you want to. I would go Moog if you want stock and Intrax if you want to drop the car.

There are some *cough* good deals on used struts/springs/assemblies in the for sale section.

[yamahaSHO]

I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that's Des Moines? I live in Omaha.

 

[hamburglar]

yes sir it is

after research i'm looking into the Monroe Sensa-Trac Struts with some sort of springs. What after market springs would be good for these struts. From my research it seems like the Monroe QS have good struts but the springs are garbage. I want to keep it cheaper, but something better than stock.

 

[lowc]

cheap and imo a decent spring is the moogs i use them with the kybs

 

[LOUDSHO92]

KYBs barely work on the Gen2 SHO. I would stick to Monroe.
