Hey Everyone,
I have a chance to get SVT Springs and Struts for my 95 LX. The parts have about 20-30k on them. My question is, Is it worth putting on used struts, or just buy new? These parts are rumored to be in great condition.
Do you not recommend used struts? Keep in mind that price is the only reason I am considering this offer.
TIA,
Do NOT use used struts! Even if they're assembled with the springs. What's the point of going thru all this work to put used, worn and possibly damaged parts on your car? You won't know how they are until they are installed, then if they are bad or at least not as good as you expect, you have to do most of the work all over again, and spend even more money. All it takes is one bad strut to make the set not work properly. Through a group buy posted elsewhere on this site you can get Koni struts for $124.00 each. There are other new struts you can find for perhaps as low as $60.00 each if you search.
