Struts to match my springs!

before everyone goes ona rampage on me for not searching.... I DONT HAVE THE TIME. im missing days of work and school over this issue so fast responses will be the best. please dont leave any responses that are crtical against me etc...i dont have time for it. Here the deal. I have tein s tech springs on my 2000 nissan maxima paired up with Koni struts. The struts are too tall for the springs and are wearing out my tie rods and have broken one already. I need to get better fitting struts to match my S techs. The guy at the shop says that the struts are too tall for the springs so they are bottoming out because the spring isnt doing anything. So please, what is the best match for my s techs!! PLEASE HELP!!

My springs:

Then my next question becomes, where should i buy my new struts from. I usually order from CE but i need the best pricing here.

Plenty of people are dropped with S-Techs on Tokico Illuminas and have no problems...great struts.

Easy solution: donate and use the search function.

Struts: Illuminas or AGXs

Where to buy: www.ebay.com, www.sportcompactonly.com (call and ask for Steve G) and www.redlinemax.com (call and ask for Corey)
