Suspension Help.

Ok I have a 2003 Sedan non sport, I have a blown strut in the front passenger... do I have to replace all of them? If so what do you guys recommend? Is it hard for the DIY?

if you haven't done it yourself it may be a chore as it is dangerous without a spring compressor.
it is safe to replace one with oe strut...
since it is blown and you have an 03 it should still be under warranty

Weigh the cost of one oem shock vs the cost of 4 Tokico D-specs. IMO, buy the D-specs hand's down. It's not so much the the non sport shocks are running with 10% softer springs but it's that they aren't dampned very well. No it is not a very difficult DIY.

Yes. IMO 04 coupe shocks equal the same valving as oem sedan sport shocks. 05-05 oem coupe shocks from a car with oem 19's are a totally different animal just to say it.

D-specs will still have vastly superior qualities related to superior valving. You should be able to locate them for $470-$500, either ebay or try one of our sponcers.

Thanks Gsedan35... I might pick up the 04 coupe shocks and springs on sale by one of the members. Right now preparing for a baby on the way. Need to cut my costs and just it get the G working right again. Springs would fit ok to, right?
