Hope I'm not bugging you too much!
But....

Well My EcS is stuck on sport mode and the light is blinking. My friend saw this and said that her 3000gt did the same thing when her strut went. anyone run into that problem? Do I have any aftermarket options?? How much am I going to have to throw down for this one??

It's possible, although it's much more common for a wire to get pinched/cut underneith the strut cap (under the hood) from someone leaning on it. It's EZ to check.

well another thing we noticed in the fall before we put her away was when she was on hills she would sit funny. My dad could put his fist in one wheel well and couldn't fit it in the other...

How do you check the wire?

I had this happen on mine last year. One of the wires going to the top of the drivers-side strut somehow broke (I'm assuming from me leaning on it). The easist way to test the wiring connector is to disconnect the wiring harness from the strut and the other end. It's a little tricky to remove from the strut, you usually need a very small jewelers tool or flat screwdriver to pop it out. The other end of the wiring harness is just a big clip that you squeeze.

Once it's removed, test the connectivity of each strand of wire with an ohm meter. Each wire should have continunity (0 ohms across it). If you have a wire that isn't showing 0 ohms from end to end, that wire is broken and needs to be repaired. That being the case, you can either replace just the wire itself (like I did), or find a new or used (contact kevinw@stealth3000gtparts.com for one) harness.

If you don't have access to an ohm meter, a dealer or shop like AutoZone could probably test it for you for free or at least very cheap.

It could be possible your strut is bad too, but the blinking light usually means a bad wire. If you end up taking it to a dealer, be careful, they could feed you a line of crap about how the ECS computer is bad, strut bad, etc. and present you a HEFTY (and unnecessary) bill.

It's pretty straight forward. Here's the strut tower cap under the hood.

3 nuts hold it in place (think they're 10mm), 1 plug, and the connector that holds it to the top of the strut. That plug is kinda fragile, so be careful pulling it off. When you get the cap off, flip it over and closely inspect the wiring for cuts/splices.

Not working for me...

That's weird. If I follow the link, I get, "Sorry, www.stealth316.com/images/shk-frtopmount.jpg is unavailable." ... then if I change the url to something truly wrong (add a character) I get, "The page you requested ... was not found." ... then if I change the url back (delete the extra character), the image shows.
