Is the Strut-Plus worth it over a bare strut?

For most 1998-2002 Corolla owners, yes. You get a new spring, mount and hardware already assembled, which saves the cost and risk of compressing old springs. If your springs and mounts are still good, a bare Excel-G strut is cheaper.

Do I need to buy two?

Yes for a proper front rebuild. SR4064 is the front right unit; the left side is a separate part number. Replacing both at once keeps the car level and handling balanced.

Will it change my ride height or handling?

No. It is designed for factory ride height and original handling, and it is non-adjustable. Expect the car to feel like it did when new, not firmer or lower.

One complete strut and spring assembly with a new strut mount, insulator, bearing plate and attaching parts. Boot inclusion varies by vehicle application.

Does it fit my Corolla?

It fits 1998-2002 Toyota Corolla front positions only. Check your model year and confirm the part number before ordering.

Prices on strut assemblies move with sales and promotions rather than season. Compare current listings across stores and check the price history before buying a pair.

Our take on the KYB Strut-Plus Front Complete Strut Assembly

The KYB Strut-Plus is a pre-assembled front strut and coil spring unit for 1998-2002 Toyota Corollas, built around KYB's Excel-G gas strut with a new mount, insulator, bearing plate and attaching hardware. It bolts in without a spring compressor, which is the main draw over buying a bare strut and reusing old springs and mounts. It is an OEM-style replacement, not a performance upgrade: damping is calibrated to stock ride height and stock handling, and it is non-adjustable. The part number listed is SR4064, front right; a matching left unit is needed for a full front pair.

Best for1998-2002 Corolla owners with worn, bouncy or leaking front struts

What reviewers say

Owners of older Corollas generally report the Strut-Plus restores a firm, quiet ride close to factory and saves hours versus building struts from parts. Complaints tend to center on it being a stock replacement rather than an upgrade, and on buying two units for the front.

Pros

Noticeably tighter, less bouncy ride after install
Quiet operation and smooth steering
Straightforward bolt-in job with basic tools
Holds up well over years of daily driving

Cons

Ride is stock-soft, not sporty
Price adds up when replacing both front corners
Some buyers expect adjustable damping and find none

Product Details
