I need to buy aftermarket struts to accomadate my eibach springs that i will be putting on soon. My problem is finding the struts. I keep finding them listed as "shock absorbers". Is this the same thing? Also i have a 1999 and all the kyb struts/shock absorbers im finding are for 2000-2002 or 1995 only. Anyone have a part number on kyb front and rear struts?

Here is the ones im intersted in getting....

Are these worth the $200 for the fronts? and will these definently fit my millenia? THanks for the help guys, if anyone can get me a correct part number for the rear struts that would be awesome. thanks again

 

yo. those ARE the rear. kyb no hava fronts. you gotta go dealer. also, the 95-96 my have a different upper strut mount, so if you get those kyb, you will have to get 95/6 upper strut mounts. the earlier cars had a larger shaft, and yours will NOT fit. iirc, the bump stop and dust boot might also be different. and if you cant install the shocks/struts yourself, you'd better learn, because those aftermarket springs will kill the stock shocks fairly quick. the bracket for the abs sensor or brake line(i forget which one) is about 180 deg out on the early rear, so you will have to zip tie them.

 

Thanks for the help, its amazing how much you learn off one paragraph lol. I have a 1999 millenia, the struts im getting are part number KYB Part # 341259. Would you happen to know if those would require the different upper stut mounts? Im stuck ond eciding whether to get the
KYB Part # 341259
or the
KYB Part # 341316



please help me out again thanks buddy

 

dont know. i would ask the vendor. iirc, the early ones had a 10mm shaft, the later ones 8mm. i KNOW they are different sizes. looks like the 259 replaces the 316, dunno if they made the correct changes or not. make sure you get an iron clad guarantee, and get them to pay shipping back if not correct.
