Hello

Just wondering what your experiences have been with rockauto brands for the cool strut assembly? Have to replace flfront left and right and figured this assembly would be the easiest. Any experience? Thoughts? What brand to avoid?

 

I just started looking myself and have come to the conclusion that the SR4241 and SR4242 are the best option, easy installation. They're made by KYB and that's who made our original struts. My only issue is, I don't know if these fit the FA5 or not. Can anyone add on to this??

I'm going to make a separate post about the fitment.

 

UPDATE: I spoke with KYB Customer Support and they said that the SR4241 and SR4242 are not for the Si variant.

 

KYB used to be a decent brand.
I have read that their aftermarket support has gone downhill.
However, I have also read that their OEM support is solid.

I need to replace the rears on my 2007 soon.
Have been considering Koni "orange". Not bad pricing. $600 for full kit to do front and back.

Any nonracing applications? Just looking into replace on my daily driver...I'm guessing fcs or one of those generic rockauto brands are fine?

 

I'll be installing my KYB struts and shocks this weekend. I can let you know how they feel after installation.

 

Installed my KYB struts and shocks. To be completely honest, I don't feel much of a difference between before and after. It probably is a little smoother based off the breaking and shift smoothness but it's not a night and day difference. That being said, the feel is like OEM, so I would recommend the KYB struts and shocks. If you have the non-Si version, I would go for the complete suspension setup that they offer. SR4241 and SR4242.
