Rear struts are blown!

[Nissan-S14]

Well after the drifting weekend, my rear struts are officially done!! (blown), They were original struts, and im guessing they were never changed and my car has 100K on it now. In any case my rear end feels like cr@p now. Wheel bounces every second, with a $100 to my name, gotta ride out about 2 more month until my birthday which is on May 9, then im getting coilovers. Probably the new Tein type HA or Tanabe PRO SS.

have you thought of jacking some old non-blown struts from the junkyard? 2 months is a long time if you drive it everyday...

Finding a 240 in a junk yard here is like a miracle. Almost next to impossible, and if i get a used one from ebay, by time it gets here with all the work it takes to mount struts, I might as well wait i guess, my bday is May 9 so i guess its less then 2 month.

you are going to go from $100 to around $1000 in two months? Man... that is some family and some family presents!

[Nissan-S14]

yea usually i get somewhere near $500-800 depending on the circumstances, plus income!

I average like 400 a month in leftover car money... talk about a money pit... anyways.. you considered getting the 850 dollar Tanabes without the helper spring? I think thats what Im gonna go with

You think 2 months is bad. Mine have been blown for a year, and just now am i getting any money to spend on them.

The ones in my old civic have been blown for 2 years now.

For some reason I have the money to fix mine but it makes it way into being spent on audio,fun.women, and booze. I"m fixing to spend 500 on a camera and video camera.Which could be used on my car instead.

go to napa auto parts and just get some cheap ones. Ill bet for 100 bucks you can get the two rear ones.

yea but that $100 gets me a bottle of jack and southern comfort and some pizza and a movie to watch Besides my subs hit hard enough to hide the effects. Except for last night.......

I am actually looking into this, since I have an account with Tanabe, i get 25% off coilovers so I can get the Pro S-S (with helper spring) for $1000, and the Pro SS-II for $900. As far the Pro-S-OC, i think that is not even worth being a coilover. How ever I am not sure of the difference between the helper spring. Anyone know what it actually does?
