What's everyone running for OE replacements?

Vehicle is stock height and will stay that way. I'm considering new springs all around (stock height) due to spring fatigue from age... 227K is gettin' up there.

Just put KYB-GR-2's all around my '95. Ride's fine. Tire Rack had the best price.

What indications do you have for spring fatigue? Is the ride height lower than spec? If the ride height is lower, it may also be the rubber insulator in the strut mount is compressed.

With today's metalurgy and heat treatment technology, the resilence of steel used in springs is excellent.

What warranty is on those KYBs? I don't want a three month deal. I'm lookin at Monroe's as I have them on a few of my MBs or Bilsteins.

Metal fatigues over time, I'm sure the spring pads are worn which will get replace while it's apart (probably going to do the entire rear subframe at once). With often heavy loads on city streets, I'm going to replace them. Not to mention they're ten years old with 1000 miles shy of 230K on them now...

^How hard is it to DIY the Tokicos? Is it a super long and grueling process?

Running KYB's after getting rid of the Tokico's (relief), along with the H&R springs. Seem to be holding up and riding just fine.
