    That little car will handle and drive like it's brand new by the time you're done. Nice work!

      Hi TooForOne, thanks for watching! I ordered one via eBay and the other directly from the seller's website. Note that the brake line bracket is not universal (as we found out) and be prepared to need to rent the strut assembly tool regardless if you find the cap to be out of alignment like we did for one of the assemblies. Those disclaimers out, here's the seller's direct website with the part linked: www.jjoriginalequipment.com/GM-Front-Lit-Driver-Side-Suspension-Strut-Shock-Spring-Assembly-1998-01-91172300_p_1875.html
      If I had to do it all over again, I would have just bought the KYB set and assembled them myself to ensure the brake brackets are correct and because I needed to rent the tool anyway. Hope this helps; take care and stay safe!
