Strut options?

I have a set of Sprint 1.8" drop springs, but I'm not sure which struts to go with. The less expensive the better, so I'm not going to get the most high-end performance struts, but I need to know which ones are actually designed for a drop like this. Also, has anyone else used these springs on their Max? I'd kind of like to know what the ride is like.

you're asking for contradictory items.
only high end performance ones are designed for a drop.

I do realize this, but if you notice, I said "most high-end performance", meaning that although I am looking for springs that are appropriate for this application, I don't necessarily want the absolute best top-of-the-line struts.

Thanks guys. You're a lot of help. If I had a "smiley" of a guy jerking off, I'd put it here. I was only looking for some advice, but I guess I'm not good enough for this forum.

it's not a matter of being good enough or not, it's a matter of being willing to listen to the advice being given

First off, DanNY, thank you for your suggestions. As for internetautomar, I would listen to the advice if it were actually helpful. The comments that you made insulted me and didn't offer any help at all. I only wanted to know which struts I would be able to use without f*cking something up. The only reason I was showing any disrespect or hostility was because of your incredibly rude response, sustained by therealgoon9.

Once again, thanks for the help, but which Tokico model did you mean, the HP, Illumina, or Premium, or does it matter? I know that they're priced differently, which gives me an indication, but following up on my earlier posts, I unfortunately don't have the $$$ to get the most expensive ones. Are they (Tokicos) all designed for use with a drop?

ahhh now you're getting lazy...they only make ONE kind for the 3rd gens.
the most expensive ones are konis. tokicos are more suited for lowered cars.

why don't you tell me what your budget is and we'll go from there.
