Well i decided to replace my 188,500 mile struts today. Nothing fancy just some KYB GR-2's (since i plan on getting rid of the car i didnt want to go all out)

i just finished the rears (both) in 50 min. (gotta love honda and their simplicity)

Now off to the front!

 

When do you plan of getting rid of your car? And what do you plan to get?

Mark

 

Give it to me as a parts car.

 

Fronts done hands clean tools put away. fronts took about 45 min! Love honda (other than trans)

 

damn Kris!

 

Damn me????? why??? whati do???

 

Hondas are easy to work with.

 

how is the handling now? improved at all or about the same? you are quick dude. and i'm also curious to what you are getting next.

 

It does ride better. i probably should have done it about 30k ago. the ride wasnt bad but it was starting to chnage (i could notice a difference)
as for whats next, either a CTS or a GS400<--(to be determined if i lke and fit)

 

A GS 400...isn't the new model the 430? Wouldn't that mean you are getting a used car?(My car is used as well- nothing wrong with that). You just seem like the type to buy a new car then drive it until it can't go anymore, thus the suprise with the used car.

 

Ive found a few with really low miles. (with the amount of miles i put on it it doesnt pay to buy a brand new. if i can find one with 20k or less and cut a bunch of cost y not) i also found a CTS-V

 

Good call. My parents only buy used cars (and run them into the ground) because of how much cars depreciate after a few years. I'll probably do the same for the rest of my life, it just saves so much money and what is 20K when a car will run for 200K. They taught me buying property is where it is at. I just like the new body style of the GS much more as opposed to the old one.

 

i drove a 98 gs400, the torque makes it feel like an animal!

 

CTS-V = scary fast. GS4 has one of the most comfortable rides out there with some nice power. either way man, you are gonna get a sweet car. good luck!

 

i can vouch for the 06 gs300 got it about a month now the ride is amazing you could be doing 80 and hear a pin drop inside. gotta say though if i hadda do it again i might of went with the 430 because the 300 is engine weak but has awd thats why i got it.
