want replace broken struts
I have a 97 protege 1.8L and 2 struts leaks oil (1 front and 1 rear), so i want to buy 4 kyb gr-2 struts and replace them all. My question is can i ony buy struts from here(http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/KYB-G...spagenameZWDVW) and intall them with all old parts(old springs and old other parts)? can they work together without any problem? Thanks advance!

I would suggest to replace the bellows with the bump stop. If the strut mounts are cracking or have cracks when you open the hood they should also be replaced. When I replaced my struts with kyb gr-2 they were an exact fit. So if you want to use the old spring and other part they will fit without any problems. -

best to replace both springs and struts at same time. It's probably the first time ever on the car. these things are getting old.95 ES

when i bought kyb's i also bought h&r springs-first they are old because its a 12 year old car and second because a lower than stock car is sexy!Originally posted by KittyOriginally posted by almighty4wdComment

GUys just wanna know. My car is like low...The rear is like a finger gap or less. I want to get it a bit taller, should i need a bump stop or is there something i can put in the spring to get it a tad higher? I like the looks but sometimes when i load groceries, t kinda looks really low, like tucked in.

you may have a cracked rear spring. i dont know about about the BH chassis but the BG chassis has a very very common problem where the bottom coil of the spring rusts and cracks. its hard to even see the damage until you remove the spring from the strut.Escort GTR -- 11.87 @ 117.6 mph -- 320 HP / 325 Ft.

get lowI live my life a quarter pounder at a time. And for those 500 calories or more, I'm free. I need FRIES! Two of them. The big ones. Oh, and I need them tonight. You're lucky the double shot of BBQ sauce didn't blow the seam on your nugget box. There she is, 2 pounds of pure beef. My dad ate it in 9.0 seconds flat. Check it out, it's like this. If I lose, winner takes my happy meal. But if I win, I take the burger and the toy. To some people, that's more important.
