Suspension Question - 7/24/2007 4:43:18 PM    Border Dave   Posts: 3 Score: 0 Joined: 10/16/2005 Status: offline My wife has an '01 Spyder GT with over 82k on it.  It's finally time to replace the struts and my wife doesn't want to lower it.  Does anyone have any recommendations for a good replacement for the stock struts?  The tire guy says that it has struts in the front and rear.  He wants $120 per corner for the Monroe struts plus labor.  Anybody have any other suggestions? < Message edited by Border Dave -- 7/24/2007 4:45:24 PM > Post #: 1

If you do decide to lower it though I do have 2 inch lowering springs in my possession that haven't even been taken out of the box yet. _____________________________ Current 97 Eclipse GS-T Spyder :) Current 2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS SE : "The Wife''s DD" 2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT : SOLD 95 Eclipse GSX : TRADED 95 Eclipse RS : SOLD (in reply to Border Dave) Post #: 6
