Ordered some Si oem struts today..
to hold up my b16b because my DX towers can't hold it up, causing some camber and handling issues. I bought them for $50/ea, but they don't come with springs.. My question is can I use the ones off my DX? I have a spring compressor and everything, and I'm pretty sure it will work out just fine, but wanted to check with the af suspension geeks first haha

Re: Ordered some Si oem struts today..
Yes you can use your springs. It's probably the springs giving you problems not the struts. Springs support weight, not struts. I would upgrade to :b16: springs if it were my car.

Yeah the Struts have nothing to do with your problem. Its your springs.
Get some Si Springs. www.clubsi.com Post in the FS forum with a WTB: Si Factory Springs or just order some aftermarket lowering springs...

Ground controls w/ custom spring rates would be a good choice.

Re: Ordered some Si oem struts today..
I assumed they weren't shipping the springs with the struts but they are actually sending the whole assembly
 . I called them for an eta this morning.. Well, will I need rear ones as well or should the DX's be alright?

It might look lopsided but most likely you can run the DX rears...

Re: Ordered some Si oem struts today..
It looks lopsided right now because the front is sunk down farther than the rear, these will even that out.
Well I just got them today and one says L the other says R. I'm assuming L=driver, R=passenger, but wanted to make sure w/you guys first..

Re: Ordered some Si oem struts today..
Yeah they were the same exact strut, but my god were the old rusted bolts a pain in the shitter. It took me five hours to swap them! After 6 beers, a stripped lug bolt, busted 17mm socket, and finding out a bolt has been MISSING forever holding my strut into the wishbone on my passenger side, I'm ready to jump off a cliff.
