Default Got New KYBs Coming...Anything Else I Might need??

I just ordered a new set of KYB GR2s with bumper stops, boot covers and strut mounts. Are there anyother parts I might need to replace while I'm up in there? My SC's got 174k on it. And I am pretty certain it's still riding on it's original suspension (with the exception of upper and lower control arm bushings - which I replaced last summer).

Thanks.

look into rear control arm bushings if you havent done those yet. i have mine already but dont have time to put them in. when i went to do my alignment my guy said the factory bolts were frozen. he couldnt do anything about it. when i do all my stuff i will order new camber bolts and have to cut the old ones off.

good luck with the install and come back with reviews

Check to see if the rubber under the top hats are worn.

Just soak them in PB Blaster overnight and hit them with an impact gun.

There are no agx applications for the 92-00 SC. They have some for the 93-98 Supra, but then you would have to get matching springs.

You just have to use 93-98 Supra springs if you want to run the 93-98 Supra KYB AGX.

Yes that combo would work since both the springs and shocks are from a supra. Just the ride height would be about 0.5-0.75 lower than advertised.
