what are the most comfortable struts?

I have sprint springs and yes I know they're a bg drop and not very comfotable at that, but what are the best struts for comfort out there?

I have KYB GR-2's and I just put on Eibach springs and It feels VERY comfy! I didnt wanna push anything though. Also put on anti-sway bars too, so that might help the struts and springs feel better.

Want rEALLY comfo? Throw u macho wheels out, go original.

Well, I know you wont, cause they are really nice [they are!] and give enhanced handling in racing. But is there comfo-racing? noooo....

Now want cheapest also? Your equation is indefinite.

Find Stanza/Bluebird any kind shocks at rear; at least EU pices for it are ½

"Now want cheapest also? Your equation is indefinite." Don't understand this

"Find Stanza/Bluebird any kind shocks at rear; at least EU pices for it are ½" and elaborate on that cuz I don't know what you're talking about

Simplex equation: Cheapest Not Best.

Follow up: If want Best, dont ask Chea pest.

Find/install Stanza/Bluebird shocks rear: cheapest. [Fits but needs shims on installation]. As good as any Best.

I know that already, but if you paid attention above, I am looking the cheapest struts with the best comfort.

That doesn't mean I just want some flat out cheap POS struts. I want the lowest priced with the most comfort

Um low **** springs + huge heavy wheels + want "confortable" shocks that are cheaply priced = many blown shocks in the near future. No way around that.

just get Koni's, they're probably just as comfortable as anything else and they're the best out there...
