Good replacements for stock struts?
Sunday, September 07, 2008 1:01 PM
Thanks to our beautiful pot hole filled roads, it looks like I might want a new set of shocks/struts.


I do want to upgrade, but still want the stock feel (it's for the wife's car)



I've been thinking KYB, sensatrac, or even just replacing them with GM spec ones....



I'm open to ideas....(03 Cav)...Thanks....

Oh and sorry i know the link says its for a sunfire 2.2 but they should be the same for the cav, but it just gives you an idea of what strut Darkstars was talking about

Sweet.....Thanks...


Question though- Are they a direct replacement? I know some of the struts (like Koni) require drilling holes and such......


For her car, I don't want to change anything unless I have to......

Koni's are inserts, every other struts made for a J are a direct bolt in replacement.

Why wont they work for 16" wheels


Notes :
Does not fit vehicles with factory 16" Wheels. For high performance struts, please check out KYB AGX or Koni Yellow!



KYB
