[urq] Front Struts

[Todd Phenneger]

Ur-S4 fronts wont work without a custom upper strut mount. They fit the housing just fine but the top is totally different.  For a Driver, not needed.  Agreed that $250.00 is a fair price for shocks and really, I think many prices aren't bad.

Hell, the WG Diaghram everyone complains about being not available is even available NEW for $125.00.  I'm finding more and more reproduction stuff available.  Sure you have to pay, but often the prices are cheaper than parts for newer cars including Honda's, Subaru's, etc.

Anyhow...
