What brand of struts should I get for my Geo?DanMan7 08-05-2007, 07:55 PM Hey everyone. I found out it's about time to replace my struts in my 92 Geo Metro with new ones. The old ones groan and squeak and clunk in the back when I go around turns and stuff...I figure since the car has over 160,000 total miles that it's about time to replace them anyway, along with the front ones. Should I go with Monroe, KYB, or another brand? I would appreciate any personal experiences any of you can provide with your struts and Metros, let me know what direction I should go. I was thinking getting KYB GR2s I think? Or Monroe Sensa-Tracs. But let me know everyone. Thanks in advance! Hudson 08-05-2007, 08:58 PM Hey everyone.

What's your car's "JDM" engine? And how is it different than the one that came with the car? DanMan7 08-05-2007, 09:16 PM Car's for transportation, never gonna race it, although I do like turning slightly faster than most people. My JDM engine is just a JDM engine that has 20,000 miles or so on it. It's the same engine as my original engine that had 158,000 miles.

My JDM engine is just a JDM engine that has 20,000 miles or so on it. It's the same engine as my original engine that had 158,000 miles. I've got a Suzuki Swift GT with about the same mileage, still running original everything (aside from timing belts and other regular wear items). I'm looking for struts as well...but I'm looking to autocross it, so I'm leaning toward KYBs. GM Line Rat 08-06-2007, 11:07 AM I Bought some new KYB's (Front and Rear) off auctions on E-Bay "Dirt Cheap". It took me a couple of weeks to find sellers, but I knew mine were needing replacement in the near future so I planned for it. BTW, You'll need to get a 4 wheel alignment done after installing all new struts. vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
