    I don't know why I can't seem to grasp the concept of what pieces go into the struts if I'm going to buy them not pre loaded (especially since they don't make pre loaded ones for 2004's) anyways I've got a 04 gtp and was wondering if I went to rockauto's website what exactly would be every part I would need to build my own struts. If I was going to replace every piece on the strut. I'm trying to be pretty conservative on cash being a college kid and only working part time I have about $5-600 to get it all done, I'm looking to do all 4 corners.. If that's enough? And if there's money left probably do the control arms, or save a little bit longer and do the control arms trailing arms and rear sway bushings. I'm doing it myself with mechanic brother so it won't be a installation problem! If anyone could help me by telling me exactly what pieces I need to build a new strut (front) I would greatly appreciate it!! Also if I'm not lowering would you still recommend pogo's?
    Thank you so much I hate not know jack about my suspension!

    First off, IIRC your car has the sway bar mounted to the strut. Double check by looking at the strut through the wheel.

    Then your parts of a strut are:
    Strut
    Spring
    Mount
    Bellow (dust boot)

    Most people typically reuse the spring and bellow when assembling their own struts. There is nothing really wrong with it unless you think your springs have a billion miles. So you could buy just struts and mounts.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
