got a question , can somebody help me.

I Got A 95 Max About 3 Month Ago And The Ride Sucks!!!!!!!!!!!
That Bad
I Got The Car For A Good Price
Anyway I Want To Do The Whole Suspension On The Car Over But I Dont Want Bullcrap Stuff . I Live In Ny And The Street Are The Worst Of The Worst. I Was Going To Drop The Car ,but I Change My Mind Because That Will Make The Ride More Harsh And I Dont Need That . So My Question Is What Are The Best Struts To Go With For A Smooth Ride. My 2 Choice Would Be Factory Struts Or Tokico Illiminas Or Are There Something Better Out There. Money Is Not A Problem For Me . I Want It To Feel New, What Other Additions Can I Do To Me It Feel Like A New Ride.
I Need Help Fast Want To Buy Strut Asap. Thank You

tokico blues are krap. go with kyb agx and h&rs they feel like stock. and also agx are adjustable firm to soft. from 4way in front to 8 way in rear. i also live in ny. go through queens and city all the time to go to school. ride is very comfortable. i also install struts and springs for $100. also could get u kyb agx for 380 for all 4 shipped and 220 for h&r shipped.

DO NOT USE TOKICO HP's WITH LOWERING SPRINGS!! Damn you newbs, Hp's arent made for lowered cars, they will blow in no time.

I live in Brooklyn too and I feel your pain.. lowered cars have it bad here in NYC. I bent and cracked one of my rims about 3 weeks ago. If you want a nice smooth ride lower your car with H & R springs, they're very close to stock and get either Tokico Illumina struts (NOT TOKICO HP's) or KYB AGX struts (NOT KYB GR - 2's), both of which are adjustable. The AGX's are cheaper than the Illuminas.. if you can scrape up the $$$ the Illuminas are worth it.
