I just blew one of my rear struts on my H&R ultra low coilovers for my Crx
I contacted H&R and was told it would be $345 for a new strut i would just replace it but i have no idea how old the coils are and if another one is going to blow soon. I don't really like the rear coils anyway I am looking for something much stiffer like the fronts. I am just wondering what options i have for replacing the rears without having to buy a whole set of coils

 

$345 for A shock?


Replacing both the rears would almost buy you Koni/gc.


You really don't have many options. Replace the shocks threw H&R, or buy a new setup.

 

Ya I thought $345 was a bit much but I think Ill pull them all out and try and determine how much life is left

 

I don't understand. "How much life is left"? The shock is blown.

 

I don't either. Even if it wasn't blown, there is no way to determine how much life is left without a shock dyno.

 

I was just going to take a look at all the other coils to see if there was any signs of leaking or anything like that. I would be pretty pissed to replace another shock on coils I don't even like

 

Replace all. Koni/GC or AMR Engineering if you want lifetime warranty or Progress CSII good quality, great price.

 

So junk them then.

 

Yeah thats way to much for one strut. Sell current setup and get a better setup

 

$345 for a new strut?

Progress charges like $65 for a new strut. I would think H&R could sell you one for ~$100-150.

I would wager the H&R struts are rebuildable, you could have the whole setup rebuilt for $400-600.

Or you could buy a set with a lifetime warranty like Tokico, AMR, or Koni.

 

Do they adjust at the lower mount? That could explain some of the cost difference, but $345 is high.
