    will these konis or bilsteins work?@5 dollars for all of them?

    They are so cheap on ebay now so if they work for our cars then I need to buy them.

    no, they will not work. I'm no expert but from what I know, our cars use macpherson struts and those are not. It's hard to explain but our struts use strut mounts and forks as a part of the suspension. Others can explain this better than I do but those will not work at all. Unless you can find a way to modify them.

    No MacPherson struts on our cars. We have independent suspension at all 4 corners.
    No projects. Life consumes my time and money.

    Macpherson struts are independent suspension. The strut body transmits the lateral load instead of using an upper control arm. We have independent double wishbone (A-arms) front and rear.
