Should I just wait till I can get the struts or go ahead and put them on now? 1998 Silver Contour SVT 17" Focus SVT Wheels Removed Door Dings Painted Brake Calipers Black/White SVT Logo Xenon Headlights K&N Filter "If my wheels are on the road, I'm racing"

A lot of people would say wait till you have the Struts, This way your not doing the same job twice. But i also talked to a lot of Cegers and they were running around on stock strurs for a while with no problem. I have H&Rs on stockers and i have no problems.

Also do you guys recomend the how-to or should I pay someone to do it? 1998 Silver Contour SVT 17" Focus SVT Wheels Removed Door Dings Painted Brake Calipers Black/White SVT Logo Xenon Headlights K&N Filter "If my wheels are on the road, I'm racing"

I'd go ahead and get struts too. Get it out of the way so you dont have to worry about replacing them in the near future. -neal 99 SVT ~ Silver Frost ~ #2621 mods? a few...
