Does anybody, I mean anybody sell Struts/ Shocks for our cars other than the dealer in the States? I cant find ANY. All I find are for TL's other than First Generation.....or all suspension parts other than struts/shocks themselves. My left front ( Japans passenger side) is kinda blown. My cheap coil-over is holding the car up. Can anyone refer me to a store, any store that sells struts/shocks for our cars? Why dont I get them here? Costs too much.

 

Monroe apparently doesn't make a shock for this model. You might check Napa, Autozone, et al, but you may strike out. I saw the Tokico shock is $128, pricey but not ridiculous. I hope mine hold up.

good luck

 

hes from japan but he can probably go to their website and order it from them and have them ship it to overseas?

binky, how much are espelar springs for our 2.5 (UA2) cars? Don't RSR make springs for our cars too? I think i remember seeing those 2 brands making springs for our cars but only sold in japan. Do you also know any UA2 lovers there that want to trade me their aftermarket front lip for my US OEM tails???

 

Thanx. I'll checkum out.

 

If I do order from the States, I'll have them sent to my buddy in the Air Force Base here.
The Espelir springs costs between $150~$250 a set, about 1 or 1.5 inch drop. RS-R costs around the same...and same drop, except for RS-R SD( super-down), which are about 2.5 inch drop. Trust makes them too. Alot of place make 'em.
As for UA2 lovers, I only see about 3 UA2's running around and they are stock and old folks driving.Not too many Customs....They all do Toyotas and Nissans

 

tokico makes a shock for us??? is it stiff???

 

stealership hope mine dont go after I drop it.

 

How much are u planning to drop?
