Time for a swap.Opinions on the ride quality please....pavement driving 98% for me.Only occasional romps in the sticks 'n stones.

 

This is for my Touring wagon which will be my winter car and vacation car.

 

I don't mind spending a little more for the best.This is not a budget shopping inquiry.Thanks.I expect to keep this car for several more years.This set should take me to the end of it's line.

:rolleyes:

I asked the same question about a week ago and didn't get a response. I did some looking on the web and it looks like most aftermarket people only have one selection for any '89. I have been thinking about the KYBs which are a little less than $50 w/o springs.

Thanks Jay.I can't believe nobody else has an opinion.

 

I know I'm disliked by a few but what's your excuse?:rollin: :rollin: :rollin: :rollin:

 

Seriously folks if you have any opinion blurt it out.I'll ask my dealer tech buddies today but I know what they're going to say already.

 

From TV,etc I'm used to hearing names like Gabriel,Munroe,etc. Just not very up on the modern stuff,if there is any.

I've been seeing some honda rear struts that look like they might fit our subs..if they do this opens up a world of struts that can be used..height adjustable coil overs with infinite adjustment between fully low and high, adjustable damping all the good stuff..

Konrad,I thought I kicked you out of this country.:rollin: Did you get delayed?Or are you across the pond?

 

I'm mostly interestd in just popping struts in.I'll take it to a place that specializes or get a spring compressor and do them myself.I just want to keep it fairly simple.Swaping the whole units isn't too bad but I'd rather cut work and run around time to a minimum or pay a shop.

 

Brand names that work.That's what I'm interested in,thanks.

IIRC, GR2's have an application for the rear, but not the front. Searched for the 87 RX.

 

I don't not like you.(sic)
