made the switch to KYB's

the main road in my town has been under construction every single day for the last year and no progress seems to have been made. well my car shook like the devil grabbed it and tried to knock me out of it every time i drove down it. its a 93 so i figured the front sturts had just about had it. well were they ever. instead of the sturts coming up slowly like they are supposed to they didnt offer any resistance at all. they were easily pushed down and SNAPPED right back. Terrible. so i replaced them with KYB GR2's. Now the ride is freakin god like! i love it. i also replaced the sturt mounts so now it turns wicked easy. the originals still turned by hand but it was difficult and felt like they had grit in them which they probably did. i will replace the rear ones soon but now i have to save cause i have no more money after have to replace my windows that some f**ks smashed in. but the KYB's are so awesome it doesnt seem so bad anymore.
