Front strut replacement/ suggestions
Hello Everyone,
I’ve looked around for new struts for my 01 echo/yaris. I have new sensatrack shocks in the rear (2 months old) and its time to replace the front shocks. I'm pretty sure the springs are still good and I don't want to lower my car. It seems my options are: Monroe Sensa-Trac; Front w/ 0 in. Lift/Drop; Sedan (4 Door) Features: • Features position sensitive damping and the safe tech system • Includes a bronze reinforced rod guide bearing for consistent performance • Contains all weather fluid for smooth rod reaction • Rod displaced valving adjusts to road extremes for a comfortable ride • Backed by a limited warranty The other option I have found is: KYB GR2 -- Front; Recommended OE Replacement Features: • Designed to restore handling and control • Made from quality material • Features twin-tube design • Compensates worn suspensions • Facilitates easy installation When the rear shocks were changed I noticed the ride was firmer (obviously because the prior ones were worn). Anyone have any suggestions? I think the sensa has nitrogen and variable valve, I don’t know about the GR2. I know kyb makes other shocks but I don't think they will fit my car. |
