WTB: Struts

Looks like after putting up with a set of lowering springs (GF210's) for about 40,000 miles and a total of 90k, my right front strut looks like it is starting to poop out so I'm looking for a replacement. Whether it be just the one strut, a set of front struts or a full set of struts, let me know what you have (as long as it isn't blown and has a fair amount of life left. Whatever you have, it needs to fit an '05 WRX. So I think anything for 02-07 WRX or 04 STi only will work, with the 02/03 requiring me to buy a spacer. Just need something to get my by until spring, when I go with a fresh set of KYB adjustables. Thanks in advance

Not a lot. I can get new non-OEM replacements, through a friend that owns a shop, for pretty cheap. I guess as far as price on a used set, as cheap as possible. Especially since I'm planning on buying a whole new set of adjustable aftermarket struts next spring. How much are you trying to get out of yours?

Ya, that's the thing. You're looking for a temporary replacement-so shouldn't be too hard to find a good ol used one to rock until your new setup.

I have some pretty darn new 07 struts....so it would probably be better off going to someone who's going to use them for a while.

Just out of curiousity, how much are you asking? If they're in good shape I might just save my money that I would've spent on the KYB's for something else. Feel free to PM me if you would like.
