What up?? Aiight heres my problem. I have a 93 DX, and where I live the streets are f****D up. Everytime I hit the littlest pothole or crack it sounds like my cars going to fall apart. I would Think that I need new struts and shocks, shockmounts, maybee some springs, I dunno. Now I got a guy that works on the side for me. He got it runnin after it sat for 2 1/2 years, may i mention it runs like a champ. A wounded one at that at 133,000 miles.

OK dude told me he could hook me up by ordering the parts for me and installing them(he works at Sears). I told him no cheap stuff goes on my baby tho. He told me that these GASMATIC struts are the best to get, @62$ a peice...he told me to do the whole thing would be $530$ including his labor.

Now my question to you is, Is this a good price? Should I look around? is it worth the money like I think it is? I know it's important to have your car obsorb impact and my baby doesn't. Shes hurtin yall HELP US...lol winter is comming.

 

never heard of that brand, it's probably just a OEM equivalent replacement. Depending on what you want to do, you could upgrade to performance shocks and lowering springs for not a whole lot more. But Sears probably won't let you bring in your own parts to be installed.

 

he does all his work from home. I do want to lower this car soon, but winter is comming. I was planning on buying some rims and tires in the spring.

 

Gasmatic are model of Monroe and I wouldn't put Monroes on any of my cars. Go on ebay and get yourself a set of KYB GR-2. You can usually get a set for $150-200 and it shouln't cost you more than 200 to install them.

 

What I would do is first get what parts of the suspension are damaged... That way, you would be spending on the right stuff. Just my .02

 

forget the gasmatics. get to an advance auto parts and order some KYB GR-2 OEM replacement struts.

they'll cost about $300 and pwn any monroes you put on your car.

 

will the KYB GR-2 OEM be the same ride height as stock?

 

yes, if you use stock springs. springs determine ride height

 

dude told me that it would be 100$ more if I wanted to lower my civ. You think this would be about right?

 

I don't think you can get good lowering springs for $100
