"what do you think? if i use stock strut instead of KYB? will that be any negative affect. becuase i just change a new set to OEM Strut. Thanks?"
I had thought about doing that too but others suggested replacing the originals because you're already in there. Save a bit more and do it all at the same time. I got mine (KYB-GR2s) with shipping from Ebay for $305.99. That's a deal.![Thumb Up](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
I'm glad I made that choice and my originals only had 40K on them.

"did you also replace the longer sturb since you are adding spacer on it?"
If you meant wheel studs (sturb
) no. I used Ichiba version 2 wheel spacers and they have new studs in them. Research them on the vendor list. Several vendors have sold them. They work very nicely.

I've never sold in the classifieds plus wouldn't I need someone to vouch for me? I've never met anyone on the forum since I'm relatively new at this.

Thanks for the compliment!! I did the springs, struts and spacers all at the same time so I can't say how the spacers alone changed the ride. It does turn very well but I will add a Daizen sway bar setup to finish it off. Yes, the spacers are plug and play. Very simple - very easy. Can't go wrong in my opinion for how they changed the appearance of the GS.

In my humble opinion, I can't tell a difference between the stock struts and the KYBs. From what I've been told and especially since you just put in new struts... if I were you, I'd invest in a Daizen Sway bar set up based on positive comments that others have made on the forum. You have new struts, i wouldn't waste them since you put a good amount of coin into them. If they had been old like mine, that would have been another story.

I check price for spacer. it takes about $300 for 2 pairs. the spacer are kinda expensive.
