LOL reminds me of something from a horror movie, maybe a zombies limb falling off.

There really old now, I think about 6 to 7 years old.
That's why I'm not really mad about it, and the funny part is I was wondering if I was going to have any issues with them cause of there age.


Just to add insult to injury, I had a spare set of Eibach struts and prokit springs in my shed to put in for the time being and the one strut is bent so I can't even drive at all.

I have a set KYB GR2's brand new in the box
Struts and shocks, and top hats

Not sure if they'd be any use to you?

The GR2's are more of a stock ride height shock/strut, don't think they'd be able to handle being lower.

Thanks anyways I appreciate the help.
