best strut for money

Ok i was wondering what is the best strut for it's cost? did a search and got about four million different opinions. I know koni's and tokico's are more expensive but if they're worth it I'll buy em. Right now I have sprint springs with stock struts which i know isn't good. I'm not a big racer I like to drive my car easy whenever i can so whatever I take probably won't be taking a beating.thanks

Best struts? depends on what you're looking for really, good handling with a stiffer ride? Or just a soft ride?. I personally am going with the koni's myself because of the handling, and a friend of mine had them before she got rid of her Max and i love the handling

Why bother upgrading if you drive like a wuss?

I'm not too sure. This is my first foreign car, so I'm pretty new at this. I just sold my '97 cobra and it's killing me. Going from a 12 second car to a car that might break 16 is hard. I would suggest looking on Ebay. Good luck, and let us know what you find out.
