does anyone make a direct bolt in strut/shock?
 

Ok so heres the deal, already got lowering springs, and im on stock shocks. I know that koni makes them however you have to hacksaw your stock ones in the front, they are inserts not a full kit. Does anyone make something you just bolt on?

im pretty sure they dont... other than factory replacements

Yeah exactly how do these work? ive been reading that you need to "modify" these.:eek:

oh kyb makes a oem replacement... supposed to be better than oem

The changeover to the Koni's is really quite simple if your worried about the install.

TC shocks are best.

coilovers?

The rear konis bolt in, the fronts you basically hacksaw the top half off then drill a hole in the bottom and the konis are a "insert"

GM makes some......they are what was used by the quickest real street FWD car to ever lap the Nurburgring. ;) Pretty sure theyll be good enough

I think these guys make some

Yep, they produce the OEM stuff.

i have a feeling you knew that though....

Actually IIRC KYB makes the fronts and Sachs makes the rears ;)

Well, that makes me half right then :lol:

some times you just make sense. ya know?

kyb makes all 4 corners fyi

How do I tell which is which crate engine dept just lists FE5 thats what they are all called my 07 says it has a FE5 too

amen to that.

depends on the year, fyi.

you call and order ones for an SS/TC. come on...........;)

Well, the rears i have say Sachs right on them haha

im lowering my 2.4 with ksports and i was told all i needed was tc rear struts

tc front struts. There is no struts on the rear

just shocks on back

what do i need in the rear then im not too educated on suspension

just shocks on back

ok thanks

I'll help u with install if u want

that would be great i am going to order em soon

Zombie Threading but I searched before I asked.
 

Ok Sorry if I dug this thread up from Godknowshowlongago B.C.
But I found Sachs struts on my car in the back and I dont know if they
are stock or not. I did a sight search before I posted. But Couldn't find anything
definitive.

Mine too, but I baught my car used, and it had some mods done to it before.
Are the Sachs' ones stock?? Or are they aftermarket?
If they are another mod (Mine look newer then the car)
Then how and in what way are they better then Stock??

Sachs are the stock rear shocks. If they are newer they either replaced them with SS/SC rear shocks or upgraded to SS/TC rear shocks.
