In Reply to: URGENT! need help from anyone with KYB GR2 struts! posted by mentat on September 17, 2002 at 11:51:20:

I guess the guy was comparing them to the old inserts and the difference had him a little confounded, and he didnt want to mess around too much, but the Monroes that he wanted to use "had a bunch of spacers and so forth that once attached, made the fitment just like the KYB, so it looks like they will fit after all." This is my first time with this guy, he seems ok, maybe a little conservative ie not wanting to make something fit that doesnt look like it will. My old mechanic wasn't a superstar either, and he moved his shop another half hour further away from me than he already was, so I have been shopping around locally...

In any case, WOW thanks for the immediate response! You guys are the best around... and no Craig, I dont work in anything automotive (I hope this would be evidenced by my trend towards mechanical ignorance, and overusage of terms like "thingy, do-dad, thingamabob" etc) =]

thanks again gentlemen
