Edz280zx Posted December 25, 2008 Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 The front bumper struts attach to the frame.. you have to open the hood and remove the airfilter probably..there under there. Quote Link to comment
codycheg Posted December 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 Front Quote Link to comment
hughdogz Posted December 25, 2008 Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 On the rear bumper, I have seen some people just cut the bumper struts flush with the body. If you do this just make sure you release the gas in the strut first. Here's my 260 pimpin' the cut-off bumper strut on the passenger side (I'm too lazy to drop the tank, lol). Some people ask if it is another exhaust :confused: Quote Link to comment
codycheg Posted December 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 lol exhaust.... hahahaha. Hey i got money for those shocks, but would it be worth paying 350 for springs and struts? or should i go find them somewehre else? Quote Link to comment
Edz280zx Posted December 25, 2008 Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 350 for springs and struts isn't bad imo..what kind are they? Quote Link to comment

Hey i got money for those shocks, but would it be worth paying 350 for springs and struts? or should i go find them somewehre else? there regularly about ~$450-500 last time i looked for all that so if you can grab em do it, itl save you some cash for sure. i also found my full bushing set for 152 shipped insted of the 171 before shipping form summit Quote Link to comment
