I wrote a how-to on preludepower for installing kyb shocks and ground cover coilovers. This should help you get ur strut replaced too!

Goodluck!

you dont sell a car that has "bad valves" when the entire motor is trashed.

whoever looked at this car and told you it was the valves should be swiftly punched in the *****.

thats exactly what i was thinking... struts = suspension... this = prelude forum. and TEGGER is telling us about BAD VALVES and a trashed motor..

im forced to pull the JDMWTF? card. the guys in the integra forums are trying to invade, time to install a nice machine gun setup since i dont have fogs anyways.

Let me guess, you bought his old Integra LS with bent valves and he didn't tell you. According to his sig. he sold an LS Turbo'd Integra, and according to your sig. you have a blown LS motor up for sale
