Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

    new suspension questions

    Ok.
    Monday of this week I took a pothole here in Cincinnati and it mess up some stuff bad. Namely my steelie rim and it affected my ball joints and tie rod on the driverside. Now I am wondering what to do, since the wagon is 16 years old and I am having it out with my wife on what to do with money. I would like to update the susp all around and doing the brakes as well. what am I looking at if I am to do the susp as a oem or close as possible set up?
    I love my wagon and do not really see a point in getting something different, since cars are not cheap as it is!
    Thanks Guys for any info

      Stick with original stuff as much as you can. I have seen so many aftermarket struts go bad it's ridiculous. I neighbor of mine needed new springs, so I sent him to a local J/Y for four OEM springs and struts. He picked up all 4 springs and struts for $100.00! My 97 wagon has all four original struts in it at 185,000 miles. Good luck

        I got a set of Monroe struts for the rear of the car, and put the stock springs on them. (just a cheap fix until I get my new suspension in), and they ride pretty damn good. Don't really need to compress the spring much to get it into the strut and secured. For 50 bucks a strut, I thought they'd drive like shit. Thought wrong. I'd never put anything other than stock springs on them though.

          Are you asking for prices of all the parts you need? Like a ballpark or are you are asking for what you need to fix this problem?

            Hit up www.tasauto.com. You can get great parts at great prices through them.

            If you're going to lower the car, don't get stock struts. If you can afford it, Koni Yellows are the way to go. I wouldn't recommend the KYB AGX for a lowered vehicle. KYB GR2s are a good cheap option, though. Not performance oriented, but they hold up pretty well.
