cashsaudio Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 BS they will not fit just got mine today and the front ones are different because where the springs goes doesn't have a plate on it and was told that take the old one off and use that but the damn thing is welded. but the back ones will fit but the fronts you have to change half the s*** to fit. I'm really piss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really piss. Your struts should look like this. Rears with the perch (left) , fronts without (right) http://www.26liter.us/gallery/albums/userpics/10003/kyb.jpg This is because the front replacement design is a "insert" that slides down into the front housing. Take off the top nut and dump the oil and old components out, slide the insert in, screw the nut back on. In fact the new struts most should of came with a new top replacement nut for the housing. The perch that is welded on is a part of this housing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D_Venable Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 You'll also have to cut the adjustment wheel off the old front housing and weld in a patch to get the new insert to go in all the way. Might be easier to try and find some non-SHP front housings. Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coy Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 so in reading this post and others like it...id assume that there is no replacement/upgrade to get adjustable struts on the front but id assume that either KYB or tokico has adjustables for the rear.
