[Shotimes] SHO Needs a spring

[Ron Porter]

Go to shox.com.

They have the Eibach springs for $219, plus they show the Sachs/Boge struts
for $219 (for 4), and the KYB for $219. They don't specify if the KYBs are
the GR-2s, but it's worth a question to them, as the GR-2s work with the
Eibachs.

This looks like a relatively inexpensive way to go, IMHO. If you don't want
to change struts, new stock springs will work, but I bet that they'll cost
as much, if not more, than the Eibachs.

As long as you are pulling springs, it makes sense to change
struts....unless they were new within the last year.

Greetings,

    While getting the brakes checked out on Joy's '94 MTX, we discovered
that one of the front springs has broken.  I'm interested in any suggestions
for replacement of the springs.  I know the Eibach or Koni springs are
supposed to be good, but I'm guessing all 4 need to be replaced when
changing spring type and I think they also require aftermarket
shocks/struts.  If we're not going to be changing out the shocks, what would
be a good spring to go with, and what would the cost be?  Any suggestions
are welcome!  FWIW, I believe the tires are 215/55-16 or 225/55-16.  Since
the car isn't with me, I cannot remember offhand.  Will this make a
difference, since they are lower riding?

~Chris
