turbo jer Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 Everyone says that there are no rear shocks available for our vehicles. What about these from Ebay? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130393840458&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:MOTORS:1123 Do they just bolt directly in as a replacement? Thanks!

dmyers151 Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 Yes, the Mookeeh rear struts are a bolt on replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwbrocloud Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 Yep, bolt on replacement. However they are no where near as stiff as the tokico blues used to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasQuest Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 That's the only "bolt in" performance struts available right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotStock88 Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 That's the only "bolt in" performance struts available right now. they are bolt in but i wouldn't go as far as to say "performance" over stockers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-O Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 (edited) Holy Hot Garbage! That's AWESOME! Looking at the pics, they must already be shortened casings? So help me God, next paycheck I'm buying a pair of those and some MR2 struts. Edited June 2, 2010 by Dave-O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunacy Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 I bought the housings last night And got them for $49 on second chance on his 99c no reserve auction! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexNYC Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 that would just leave the front one. that would need to be cut. at the price for the rear, that's cheap. can the coilover be use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D_Venable Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 to properly use the coilover sleeve on those, I would recommend removing the "stock like" perch, and welding something lower, just so the the sleeve is all the way down over the casing. That's AWESOME he's done that for us, and with the stock perch, it's a bolt in affair. all he need now are spacers to slide into the bottom of the front casings, and a special gland nut with the SQ threads and you have a bolt on adaptor kit for actual performance struts (no SQ bolt on strut or insert minus full coilovers is truly a performance unit in my mind) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbo jer Posted June 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 what do you guys recommend for springs if I'm using the mookeeh's in the rear and tokico blue's in the front? Are the springs that TEP offer any good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
