Stockish Strut Options?

tomd · May 11th, 2004, 04:39 PM

Hey guys, i'm in need of rear struts for my 91 Sentra E, as they have become quite noisey and don't dampen too well ;-)

I need some pretty cheap struts that will last a while, and i'm wondering if anybody has any brand/model suggestions? Also, do i need new upper mounts and boots and such?

Lowering or a nice high dollar suspension is not feasible (car is pretty beat up, not worth it).

Any advice is appreciated.
Tom

KYB GR2s should be what you are looking they are OE replacements made by KYB who also makes the AGXs the baddest affordable struts on the market.

Agreed go with the GR-2 struts, i installed a set a few weeks ago and love them. They work great my stockers were pretty beat after 135k miles, my car rides like new again. I got mine from Summit Racing, paid $59 each. Stay away from monroe or gabriel struts they are crap and cost about the same as the GR-2s...

Do need to get new upper mounts or should they be fine?

You should be the judge of that.Be warned though dont torque the nuts too hard or youll break the studs.If you do think you need new ones talk to Bonesmuggler he has some to sell for pretty cheap.
