I have a 95 Z24 dropped super low on cheap a$$ coilovers. I already bought GR2 struts and strut mount kit form KYB and also have Eibach sportlines. Considering I dont have any of the stock suspension pieces to reuse, what else do I still have to buy in order to install??? Also, does anyone have any good pictures of how the front struts and springs assemble together?? Thank in advance for your help!

Not to sound rude but those struts are not going to last very long. Those are just stock replacements. You need to spend the extra cash on dspecs.

sportlines on GR2's struts the car will last a few months if a month, then they will blow buddy

gr2s are a nono for sportlines.

enjoy buying new struts.


get some d specs or konis

also. are you serious about not knowing how they go together?

it is almost self explanitory. i will put up some pics if i can find them.

as for the front. it will be a bigger spring. small coil towards the bottom.

I appreciate the input about the GR2's and am very aware they wont last long, but for the price i got them for i dont really care if they last a week.

Yes, the rear setup is self explanitory....strut, spring, then strut mount. Done
Front not so self explanitory when I dont have all the pieces. Thats why i was asking for pictures. Small end goes down, makes perfect sense to me(making Sportline 4.6038F upright). Front setup..... Strut, Lower Spring isolator, Spring, Upper spring Isolator,????? Then there should be some sort a piece that holds the spring centered on the strut mount. Because the spring sure doesnt fit on the mount or bearing otherwise. Thats why I need pictures so I can identify what part/s im missing.

For the price you got them for, you don't care if they last a week...you know they're going to blow with the springs you've got and yet you still bought them? Didn't you ever stop to think that after they blow, you're going to have to pay AGAIN for ones that will handle the drop, and at that point, you'll just have wasted that money that you spent on them? I mean, unless the price you got them for was $0, in the end even you realize you're wasting money. But then again, it's all up to you.

Personally, I'd do it right the first time and save myself the trouble, unless you really want to be messing with the suspension that much. I'd say sell the GR2s to someone before they're blown so you can still get something back for them and put that towards something better - at least AGXs if not the D-specs or Konis that people have mentioned. But it's your car. Just do yourself and especially everyone else on the road a favor, and after you've blown the GR2s, get the car off the road and replace the shocks with something that'll handle it before you lose control of it and wipe out a family in a minivan.

Hey, He's a J owner lol.

Seriously though. Return the gr2's if you can, put your stockers back on, or get some from a junkyard if you don't have yours.

Trust us, Get the proper equipment.


Or you can just blow us off, waste those gr2's, and buy all new stuff 6 months from now cuz everything destroyed itself in an attempt to "save money".

Sounds REAL logical




And overall, the assembly is a very simple concept.....My girlffriend worked with me on mine and knew what was going on.

By the time you get them installed, pay someone to align the car and then drive it for a month or 2 and then have to go and do it all over again doesn't really seem the best way to go about this. In my province they have made that illegal to modify a supension like that which it probably not a bad thing. I'm interested to see how low they will last. There are many posts on this topic.

OK OK, I get it, but lets try not to get too far from the original topic. Too let you all know I went ahead and bought some D Specs. But back to the original topic.... I finally figured out what part i was missing. Its the Spring/Coil Seat Upper Washer. Click here to see a picture. Its Number 4 on the list. Does anyone know where I can get these besides the dealership? Ive looked just about everywhere I can think of (ie. Advance, Auto Zone, Napa, etc.) and no one carries them.

Good work outta you.


Not to be a d*ck, Just don't like people wasting their money doing it the wrong way, As I and many others have before.
