Just picked up a beautiful 79 brat, but I'm wanting to replace the struts. I've poked around a little but can't seem to find any part numbers. Anyone have any recommendations? Has anyone used the KYB GR-2/EXCEL-G SHOCK ABSORBER?

Please let us know what you find. I would also like to know this. Every-time I go to the store they tell me I will need to bring them the part so they can order based off of measurements because the brat isn't in the catalog. 

Will do spicypeanut. I've seen (drooled on) your build thread so anything I can do!

 You can use the struts from any 76-79 2WD Subaru car too. You just lost the adjustability that came with the 4WD struts. But that was really worthless anyway. You do need to switch to the 2WD strut assembly in order to use the 2WD cartridges. It opens up another option. They bolt right in exactly the same.
