Where's the struts?

Post by cohocarl »

I WANT SOME DECENT STRUTS!!!!! How many years will it be before someone brings out some decent struts for our Vibe? Back in the mid 80's I had a Ford EXP, and at the time there was a company in New England somewhere that imported the european struts, springs & bars for Ford Escorts. I bought the whole package and put them on. The car handled like it was a gocart. From what I remember, the springs were a little softer than the American part, but the struts were VERY stiff. I guess automakers assume everyone in N. America wants their cars to ride like a boat. I don't.Later,Carl
