Yeah. That was the first place I went to. I just wanted to see what other people had to say. I originaly wanted to put Maxspeeds on my stock struts but then as more and more people said not to do it my mind changed to: well what would be the best alternative.

Would you say that $150 (picked up) is a good price to pay for Blues with 15K-20K on them?

I had the same idea of getting used struts but I went with getting new ones just for the fact that I dont worry one might blow..but that's me

How much did you pay for your blues, Todd? And where did you get them?

I have been running Maxspeeds on stock struts for almost 30K miles and I just put some Sprint springs on to test the ride with those. I checked my struts about 5 days ago when I was installing the Sprint springs and my struts are still fine.

4 Years and 35K on maxspeeds and stock struts going strong! I'll upgrade struts if they ever go bad.

i'm starting to think maybe this wasn't suge a bad idea afterall. maybe i'll get H&Rs with stock struts since they seem to provide a better ride.

Naaa..H&Rs don't offer a very even drop. Go for the Maxspeeds or H-Techs if you want to spend more.
