Re: Strut Assembly

Are you looking for a fully assembled spring, shock, and upper mount? Or a “kit” of parts that you assemble?

Are you looking for a stock quality replacement, or a performance upgrade?

Re: Strut Assembly

I have no experience with the fully assembled parts. I have replaced (D-I-Y) my front and rear springs and shocks. But the replacement components were specifically oriented toward drag racing.,

I responded, in part, to clarify your needs so others could respond without assuming or asking. Unfortunately, there's not many people left here any more. And, some people aren’t likely to be active over a holiday.

Re: Strut Assembly

I just went with a KYB assembly for my daily driver, but I don't see one listed for your application on their website. Rock Auto only lists 2 brands with complete assemblies, FCS and Gabriel. Rear spings and shocks are an easy swap, so I know it's not what you were really looking for, but I'd suggest taking at look at what stranoparts.com has. If you just want the cheap way out and don't really care about performance, the the FCS or Gabriel assemblies are your best bet...but I wouldn't put them on my car. I went Strano springs w/Koni shocks which is generally recognized as one of the best possible set-up for 4th Gen. F-Bodies...
