Struts...?

Ok I will be buying lowering springs in a few days and I was wondering what struts I should get. I only know about Koni & Tokico and I still havent heard when the KYB's are comin, so can anyone suggest something? If there are anyother type of struts out there please let me know about them and tell me what you know! Thanks!

I still wanna know what sx7r is. But I don't wanna ask anyone, and no I'm not doing a search, cause I'm too lazy right now.

But on the topic, I only know of the ones you mentioned. I know people want to wait to get the kyb's. I thought they were supposed to be much better than tokico's and more along the lines of koni's.

HAHA yeah PA roads SUCK. Have you ever driven on 83S from York or where ever down to Maryland? It's sooo funny how there's a distinct difference in the pavement RIGHT at the state line. It's like the difference between a mercedes and my car on eibach's.

Hehe, yeah I'm from Lancaster, but I go to school in NH. Roads are slightly better, except for the frost heaves.

I got H&R's and kept my stock struts / shocks. The H&R's now have about 10k on them with the stock struts / shocks having about 65k on them and everything is fine. I might get aftermarket struts down the road but for right now the ride is fine. The roads here in the suburbs of North Atlanta are perfect, no potholes or anything so that isn't a factor for me.

Well I guess you are lucky then. I live in Boston and it's a nightmare for me. Just to let you know, I got my max back from the dealership this morning with a new hub assy and a wheel bearing. It's just impossible to warp a hub without being in a major accident or severely curbing the car. None of that happened to me, but I ended up spending over $500 in repairs thanx to crappy Boston potholes
