both? Im thinking that its both, so that they would have equal wear, but at about $60 each, that is a lot of money that could have gone towards springs.

I agree wit Mole.
Save up for both.
Never replace 1 thing if there a twin; like brake pads, rotors, springs, struts, and so on.

still wanting to know if any of you all ever found polyeruthane mounts for our cars??? (sure they would creak more, but the solution is just a lube job, versus a whole new mounts). If we need 10 people for that ever..i'm IN!

YES. $60 is not too too much, especially with the labor involved. Do it right.

I would save up and get everthing all at once.

Tein springs cost about $165.00 shipped on ebay
and you can get the tokico struts from Jack at Fast Track for $329.00 plus shipping.

I would save up and do everything at once like everyone has mentioned. Saves alot of money that way.

Just a thought..
