Especially compared to my AGX's, the whole point of my rant.

Your saying coilovers are cheaper? hmmm last time I checked JIC are two grand.. Ksport and some others about a G or so. Easier to maintain compared to Ground Controls?

For future readers dont believe the hate AGX struts get. THey are not exactly comfortable but I bought them for performance not comfort after all. I have my front on 3 and rear on 6 I believe

You think I will need a spring compressor to replace the front strut insulator? Im on Spring springs and I remember when I replaced my rears shocks I did not need one. For the fronts I dont recall If I need one or not. I know the stock springs are a lot taller than the Sprints.

For a DD its my opinion that struts/springs are the best. It is nearly maintenance free for years as with CO's you WILL have to have at least some aspect of them rebuilt down the line and that is expensive. As for which strut/spring, just search around here, gather opinions, and decide for yourself what is best for you but you cant go wrong with Eibach springs and Tokico struts
