I finally got my DropZone coilover kit today, off of Ebay, These will work with my OEM struts, But i was thinking of replacing them right away while i am installing the coilovers. Could anyone give me an idea as to which would be good with coilovers? I was going to get the KYB gr-2 struts they are nice and pretty cheap, But i was reading a bunch of reviews and i heard they are horrible on cars with coilovers, or more then a 1" drop, and that they are way to soft and make the car bounce. So then i looked at Tokico but they are like 90$ a piece!!! i cant afford that, So then i seen some Suspension-Tech struts which are cheaper and they are supposed to be great for vehicles with coilovers or lowering springs..... ANY IDEAS anything??!? please lol thanks. :-]

you can get all 4 tokico´s for $160 USD, plus shippin/taxes of course
http://www.oemfordparts.com
much better than $360

but i wouldn´t know how they´d compare to SuspensionTech and how good they are for coilovers...

I could´nt seem to find the struts on www.oemfordparts.com could you copy the link to the struts for the 2nd gen?!?! The site is kinda confusing i think lol.

http://www.oemfordparts.com/PartDetail. ... PartID=340 might do it, if not click the search in the top left corner, type tokico, and it´s right there. it says for zx2 but it fits the 2nd a 3rd gens

not doubting you at all, But are you sure these will fit my 94 egt? I dont want to order them and then they wouldnt fit, and which Tokicos are they? It says something for Eibach springs and heavy duty?!?!??! Thanks for any help Juggernaut

 

[Juggernaut]

yes, they´ll fit. here´s more info, it´s the exact same product, all 4 tokico´s, and as far as i know, they´re the only tokico struts for fords.

regarding eibach springs, they are engineered to match them perfectly (the zx2 s/r has the match) but that doesn´t mean they won´t fit anything else

but don´t buy them from zxtuner, oemfordparts is cheaper

Get the front Thrust/Strut bearings off a 3rd gen Escort or a ZX2...you´ll need them!
Grab the bump stops and dust boots also if you are getting the thrust bearings from the wrecking yards.
