hey guys,
looking at getting some new suspension thinking shock/spring for my 93 awd liberty.
Thought about getting Kyb with(about $240pair) some pedders($370total)= $870 maybe alittle more..
But don't really know if that mite be best. I was thinking of king but they seem cheap and shit.
Dont want to spend too much.. but also thinking coilovers but cant find anywhere for them.
Would like t hear wat ppl have.
cheers Robbie

get some low km GC8 STI struts on pink or king springs, won't cost much more then $500.


or some low km GC8 rexy struts with king springs are even cheaper :)


I've heard pedders springs are over rated.

sway bars dont bolt upto the struts and springs :) but GC8 ones fit anyway, apart from the rear, which you can make fit.


them struts would work, for that much off importmonster you could get some with the STI pink springs

Yeah they'll be good, wouldn't bother with b4 suspension as it's different.

The gc8 Billies would be alright :)

Turn the dampening down on the BC's and you won't even know they are coilovers.
