I need new shocks for my car. I'm thinking of replacing the fronts first and then the rear. The front end is drifting all over the place and hitting a big enough dip causes my front tire to rub.
Now can I just replace the shock or do I have to do the strut too. I was thinking of kyb's I found a sbr for 104.00 shipped, is that a good price?.
Also how difficult is it to replace the fronts. I looked on V-faq but it looked to me it only covered a 2g.
Any help would be appreciated. I just want to keep it simple for now, so as close to stock has been my goals so far..
 
I assume you mean replace the spring and/or strut. Well you might as well buy lowering springs and aftermarket struts at the same time. Their not hard to do at all, just time consuming.

If you plan on just driving your car and dont really care how it handles then you can just get GR-2's(kyb), but if you care about how it will handles and want to be able to adjust the hardness of them, then I recommend AGX's(kyb also).

Now for springs I would recommend Sportlines. I have Sprint springs and I hate them.
