... I know nothing about suspension. I don't know what it, but every time I try to read/learn about it, it confuses me. I just have a BASIC question. (don't laugh at me )

Ok the suspension on my new 240 (95) is SHOT. I ordered some S Tech Springs for it but I also need EVERYTHING else (shocks, mounts, bumpstops??)

I looked up a set of basic KYB's and for everything it is going to be 500 bucks. I wasn't wanting to spend that much but if I have to, I have to.

My question, is there another brand/place I can get all of this for cheaper? I'm not looking for anything that has "race" potential. Just something to get me around. I want to buy coilovers in the future, that's why I don't want to spend this much now.

Any suggestions?

Look for the GR-2's for it.

You don't need to buy anything else.

will the s13's fit? I didn't think the suspension was the same.

Yeah, you should only need to buy the replacement struts.

At least when I had to pick up some GR2's for MD inspection I just swapped all the old stuff over to the new struts and put it on the car. Went a lot easier than I was expecting.
