Strut question..

[theeheteroclite]

First off, I'm a noob to suspension.

My front struts went out recently, so I figured I'll upgrade while I'm at it. I ordered some Eibach springs, but I'm debating on the struts. I'm pretty sure I'll go with Tokico blues, but my question is: should I replace all 4 struts if the rear ones are still good? Will the rear ones hold up after I lower it?

I also think I read somewhere that the OEM struts on the P5 are made by Tokico, and that if you replace them with the blues, it might not be worth any gain, and will decrease the travel. What disadvantage could less travel bring?

Too many choices!!

replace all four.....if the rears are good, they won't be for long after lowering.


i like my blues with tokico lowering springs......the only thing that will make the biggest diff would be coil overs

Thanks, I might as well while I have them all apart!

what is the difference between coilover and struts with springs??

the springs are sitting on a locking perch thats adjustible.
