Let me know if this is as good of a deal as I think

it all looks good except the bent strut. how the hell do you bend a strut?

call a dealer and see if you can replace the bent strut if so as long as the price stays low go for it.

 

if you dont mind that its used its a great deal
thats cheap for just the springs let alone the whole set up

 

lol yea and how do you bend a sway bar?
must be all that FWD drifting

 

No idea but its Hotchkis bars and I am not sure if those are stock or aftermarket springs and struts.... any idea?

 

hotchkis stage one which is the sways and springs and stock struts(but one is apparently bent).

 

those are stock struts, not sure why you would want to buy them unless you blew your struts

 

I believe they're TRD Springs (not hotchkis - the rear has a lot more coils). And ya, bent strut? WTF? Probably pulled from a wrecked tC. Good deal for the sways alone if they're not bent or anything.

 

Ok so the springs are aftermarket?

 

Ya, OEM springs are black. For sure. And most of the TRD springs are white (some are red now).

 

Sweet hey thanks!

 

so... who wants the springs/struts?

;)

 

Wasn't a good deal after 200 bucks sorry

 

For F&R swaybars, spare strut mounts, and (what appears to be) TRD springs? I didn't even care about the struts much (I originally planned to go with TRD Struts but something else fell into my lap). This combo would allow someone to lower your car while keeping your stock springs/struts/mounts completely in tact in case you wanted to swap them back over for any reason.

 

But one of the struts is bent, so using them is not the best idea

 

See post below... I suck at editing

 

Glad that I could help (if you followed my link!)

 

I understand that. I was never in it for the struts. I wanted Koni's to begin with.

What I saw was the opportunity to get Strut Mounts, bump stops, dust boots, TRD Springs, and Hotchkis sway bars for a decent price... all while still being able to keep my OEM struts that came with the car assembled. This was a big selling point to me, because if I change my mind and want to sell the car, I'd much rather swap over a complete suspension and sell the other set, completely assembled.

Call me lazy, or ingenious, whichever you prefer.

However, my plans have changed, literally over night... (now you see why I want to retain factory suspension on the side, in case I change my mind about the car too!) :D

While shopping for Koni's on eBay, I found a set of Tein SSPB's for a few more $ than Koni's. Why Koni's? I really wanted adjustable struts. Plus, I'd be the BIGGEST hypocrite in the world if I lowered my car on stock struts (ask my GF or any one of my car buddies!)

As of now, I plan to put the Hotchkis sways and Tein's on. If I don't like the ride of the Tein's, I'll sell them for some Koni's with the TRD Springs.

If I decide I like the Tein's, I'll most likely sell the TRD Springs assembled on MY factory struts (or replace one the bent one if a deal comes along).

I have no intentions on ripping anyone off at all. If I do end up keeping the Tein's, I'm hoping I can sell the TRD's on GOOD struts and recoup some of the money from the auction.
