Title: Strutt advice
Post by: Dave Elite on 02 November 2009, 14:44:07

Hello, Im buying a set of front strutts from a member on here, and I just wanted to check they will fit ok. My car is a 00 facelift saloon 3.0 elite. The strutts I'm buying are from a 99 3.0. If they are off a pre facelift will they still fit? Thanks Dave

They will fit but, the facelifts did have different rates for the shocks.

Are they new and an excellent price?

The struts will have a sticker on them with 2 letters which relate to the performance characteristics as mentioned by Mark.

However, genuine Vx are £40 brand new so it would need to be a very good price you are getting them for IMO.

Hi, not new they were taken of at 80k include springs. Mine have done 142k so I thought they would be better than mine. I'm getting them for £20 for the pair.
