Nope. KYBs are the cheapest used struts out there for this car.

ok so i put a different (used ) strut on tonight and it is still leaning toward the drivers side the same. Any way the other side is bad if its sitting higher? I just figured the lower one was the worn out one. I think im going to pull that one out and just check it out. If i don't see anything.
Ill be buying new springs and ditching the tein h techs ..

Could be a defective spring, or install error. Do you still have the stock springs to put in and compare how it sits vs when you have the teins on there?

Springs set your ride height. If there is that much of a difference its gotta be a bad spring..

blah was hoping it was a strut.

but ill get some new springs coming and go from there. When i "jounce" the front of the car it does feal like the pass side is springier and the driver’s side is stiffer. Almost like it’s doing the wave haha. You can feel it a little when you are driving also when you hit a bump that both wheels hit.
