1997 Q45 Front Struts

[shadow98]

I need some opinions on what to get for my q. My father in law will be doing the work so I will save money there. However he looked over the car the other day as I explained in another forum post. However I felt with only one reply this had to be in a thread on its own. Since the thread I posted in was about my brake light being on and was an alternator problem.

The reply to the strut question was this. Any other input from others would be appreciated.

its either OEM or KYB SR specials which you have to import from Japan.

Your answer is complete. You can buy the inserts only if you wish from IoS.

It looks like the place that was selling the KYB SR Specials is not advertising them anymore. Their website appears all wacky, too bad as at $500 that was a huge bargain especially after I dropped almost $800 on them a few years ago. I love the way they transformed my car.

My dad drove my wife & I home after a Christmas dinner after we both drank way more then our share (thank god for good Napa Cabs and Dad's lack of drinking skills) and he said when he pulled into the driveway, "this car handles like a sports car and drives like a luxury car, you can never sell this car" and this from a guy that had a 04' LS430, 08' LS460 and now has a CTS Caddy.

The KYB SR's are awesome if you can get them but fresh stockers are still a huge improvement no matter what.
