WTB - 2nd hand front struts

My diamante needs new struts. At a price of around $220-$260 for the fronts.

I'm only giving this a shot, no harm in asking, if anyone has used shocks that are NOT that old or are gaurantee'd to not have many km's on them. being a heavy car it's chewing out standard struts (given...old used ones...) really quick. So I dont mind buying new shocks in due time but in the meantime, if i can score 2nd hand ones at half the price, well, why not.

coilovers not interested in as they'll be pricey and most likely shit, but if anyone has used struts, in good nick, and arn't gonna bullshit me as to how many k's are on em, hit me up.

Well Matt [FR35H] just bought Michael's Tein coil overs so he might have some struts for sale soon.

I have a set of ECS struts that also work fine, I believe they were changed at compliance, work perfectly....woodzy has not said if he's interested in them or not. after $100 each strut (inc spring/top mount)

i'll grab em man, after the little episode i'm silly not too


Been busy working and not checking forums. Gotta be quick geez

All good guys - well if someone does have a set let me know (obvioulsy woodzy wants em :P)
Whats the diff in ECS struts if not in an ECS car?

nothing unless you have the ECS computer :p [however I don't know what they are set to without the computer telling them......hmmm]

IIRC they go into sport mode when unplugged, thought I read that somewhere could be wrong though?

well, someone needs to dig up the manual and figure out what signals they need :)

I'm pretty sure my rear struts have gone into sport mode.

My ECS caps are off the front and my Sport Mode light is on.!!??!!

on or flashing?

I unplugged my front and it started to flash.

Still looking :D

Check wreckers mate. That's where I got one a few years back.

nah all the ones at wreckers are close to or are totally fucked. Chances of finding a near new set in a 2nd gen are close to zero. Much better chance of picking up a set off here since people upgrade to coilovers so often etc etc.
hey no big rush, rego to pay first.
