STRUTS

Wat kind of Struts should I get for my 91? Will new struts help with the sagging rear end?If not I will probably lower the front a bit.Thanks for any help guys!

I doubt new struts will help your sagging. The Gen1's all seem to be sagging. I think the springs are weak. The alternatives would be a sportier spring like eibach or intrax, stock replacements (too expensive), or some people have been putting the MOOG cargo coil springs in their cars with good results (for the sagging). New struts might not be a bad idea if the springs come off anyway. Same labor either way.

I just put in new springs and struts in my 93. I used OEM springs with KYB struts. The springs took care of my saggy rear end. Glad I did it. The car sits so different now. Quite noticable. I got them from FPN for $65 ea.

When it came time to replace suspension components on my 95, I had new Eibach springs and Motorcraft struts done all around which did the trick for the sagging rear end. If you're doing the struts, might as well go for springs one time.

I'm also thinking of replacing the springs&struts on my '90. I know it needs struts, but not sure about the springs. The rear end is sagging a bit, but it is level and I like the look.
Will new springs with a stock ride height raise the rear so the car does not sit parallel to the ground? If so, I may look at some lowering springs instead.
