Suspension Show Off

Post by JUNKYARD_JACK »

I have a clunk in my driver front strut, so I want to replace my front struts and mounts. Now its looking like it'll be about $400 for parts just to do the fronts! These are RockAuto prices, Also if I am going to be taking the springs off I might as well go to a tad lower right?

So I'd love a thread where everyone can show off what type of suspension they have and talk about how they like it so in the future guys like me can know what set up to go for. So if you have SS springs on factory struts, Tein lowering springs, Pedders, Coilovers whatever post them up and share some different suspension set ups.

My former 2012 9C1

F: Low mile 2011 takeoff struts, new Whiteline mounts, 2015 SS springs.
R: Stock (never was able to get them installed before I sold the car)

I loved the stance and wish I installed the rears.

I love the way that the car sits on the SS springs, looks real good. I just got mine in the mail and I'm excited to get them on. Does anyone have a write up on replacing the struts on our cars? I can't find anything really good on it.

There a more than enough videos on youtube showing exactly how to do it. But, you will need the outside spring compressor tool to get the mount back on.
