Alright, I just bought a 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS-T Spyder, and the mileage is fairly high. I know that it needs new suspension, but do not know WHAT I need. I have been looking at KYB shocks and KYB struts, but do I need shocks AND struts? Please help! :)

well if i were you i change both who knows if the last person that had it did any maintenance on it or not.but if your ride is rough i would just get the entire suspension done.if you buy one thing eventually you will need the other later.get a complete set up for your car you are going to spend money either way you go but less if you go one way then the other.in the end you will spend the same.

Unless your springs are broken, just do the KYB's if you want a better ride. If you want more performance do some H&R or Swift springs with the KYB AGX struts and a rear sway bar upgrade. It'll be a completely different car.
