    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.

    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)

    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.
