Cross posting because there are people in each group who might be able to help with this one.
I think it's known I have a number of cars, and as such I try to stay on the "cheap" side of parts.
The subject this time is my '88 Supra. ~215,000 miles, tired springs, dry rotting strut mounts, and worn bushings.
I have a set of springs from an '88 that had Eibachs installed at 20,000 miles, so they should be good. They sure *look* new!
I got Energy Suspension bushings from AutoZone ( I was surprised to see them because in the past two years, NO ONE had them!) They are black, I believe they are polyurethane. I'll know tomorrow...
Now, shocks. I believe Toyotas come with Tokico shocks OEM.
I can get Koni adjustables from Tire Rack for ~$100 each. A lot of Supra owners say these are the BEST for all around driving. I find the price a bit much...
KYBs, which I used to think were a good strut are ~$50, but I don't think they're as good as they used to be. They do come with a Lifetime warranty.
Tokicos run ~$58-100, with "Performance"~$78
Bilsteins for this car are ~$110
Gabriels ~$50
So, I want a good strut, moderate performance, and won't break down after a couple years. ANy techs/performance guys have an idea which would be a good all-around strut (Other than the Koni yellows, of course!
