Super Strut or not

Postby tomo1985 » Sun Aug 28, 2005 2:48 pm

First Question

1) Do AE111 1997 Caribs come with S/S

2) How do I tell if mine has it.

The reason is I am buying some K Sport Adjustables and just want to check that i am right in saying it doesnt have it.

Any help would be great.

Unsure if they have it or not, but check none the less

First, do you have your stock wheels? 14" = No S/S, 15" = S/S
Second, Are your calipers single, or dual piston.
Thirdly, do you have "Superstrut" stickers on your car :D, if you do, you know what that means! lol

nah, the caliper piston is a pretty easy way to tell, less you wanna get under your car, and if the strut connects to the hub assembly, and looks like a *G clamp* (goes down before it comes back up again), then you have S/S (correct me if im wrong, dosnt hurt to learn when your wrong!)
