Need new front struts.

Just put kyb agx's on the rear.

Would like the same on the front but the place i got the rears cant get the fronts.

Anyone know where i can get both front struts for about $300? or have a better option?

I'm on Koni's and I like them
But I would check out CorsportUSA
If you order soon, I believe they have some online coupon codes avail.
Check the dealers/sponsors on this forum
They have there own section

I saw corsport in the sponsors part. On their website it says the konis need extensive modification? why am i reading that wrong?

The word Extensive makes it sound much more than it is.
The Koni shocks are a shock insert
So you take your front strut assemblies, remove the shock from them, insert the Koni shock.
You can cut the spring seat from the strut if you're using coilover sleeves like Ground Control, but that's a different route.
If you're using stock springs, or lowering springs, you don't need to cut the seat.

I actually am using skunk 2 coilover sleeves.

Then you can cut the seat for the stock springs which will make them much cleaner, remove dead weight, and turn them into the closest they can, to a full coilover.

Do you still have these front KYB's for sale?

Are the KYB's the same on the EM2 as the EP3?
