Yup they look just like my s-techs. We were fortunate enough to have a difference in size. Can't say the same for the Preludes, the front and rear springs look exactly the same and we ended up installing the rear springs on the front struts. No0b move, I know. I'm waiting to see a performance review about this set-up.

stock struts - S-Techs vs. TRD struts - S-techs. Anyone?

dunno if i'm like allowed to do this, but its just a quick ?, i have blue and super white interior LED's, (blue being the main color) and the rear dome sometimes works, and sometimes doesn't, its like the bulb gets out of place, and so sometimes its on, and sometimes it doesn't want to. any ideas? to better tighten the dome piece to the roof, or get the bulb to stay in? i dunno, thanks

Search Search Search. To prevent yourself from being victimize by multiple no0b comments, please search. It's just not proper forum etiquette to "jack" this thread. Sort of like interupting a conversation and changing the subject.

To make sure you always get a good deal on parts, check the sponsored sales section of the general forums here on SL. I got mine from c2auto. Awesome customer service, great prices and silly quick shipping.

yup, please search or at the very least start your own thread, not put this question in the totally wrong thread and totally wrong sub-forum.

those are actually for another car. the s-techs i bought have different rear spring style. they look similar to the stock springs but shorter.
