I found this for KYB brands
Bilstein - KYB - Rancho - Monroe - Edelbrock Automotive Truck Shocks and Struts - Shockwarehouse.com The AGX's are the ones to get I wouldn't go for others Also this was a quick search you may find cheaper somewhere.. I personally bought mine off another member here used lol Otherwise I would recommend selling whatever springs you bought and getting some D2 coilovers or similiar |

Make damn sure you have new KYB AGX struts/shocks with whatever springs you choose. You'll just end up blowing your old ones right out if you don't do it.
On a sidenote, which grille is that?

lol yeah, and i just drove my car to drop someone off and theirs some noise coming from the bottom of the car. i figured i jacked it up at the wrong place, or i put the tire back on wrong. or i kinda loosend the top bolt that holds springs on the strut and now the spring is lose. i checked under the car and theris nothing. the bolt is tighten and i measured the height of the front right side (which i was working on) and its the same as the front left. smh i know is card to tell but what you think it could be? its like a clicking noise feels like its coming from under the passengers side. i also tightend the lug nuts as much as i could

i used a big jack i had in my garage and lifted it up on the right side behind the passanger front wheel.. on a hard peice of metal. (i checked that part and its fine
then i took off the tire. i used a universal lug wrench. it was really hard so i had to step on one side till it loosend (didnt strip no lug) then i loosend the bolt on the top mount in the middle. barely loosend because it was really hard. then i went and loosend tried and loosend the big bolts i was talking about. they where solid as rocks. thats basically what i did. when i put down the jack it went down really quickly maybe something got damaged? idk and its dark now so i cant even check |

Check your end links and all your motor mounts. If stuff is still OEM the rubber is most likely shot. Check the dust boots on all the ball joints, if they're crack/ripped stuff can be getting in there causing it to sieze.
