Struts

Looking for a good factory replacement strut for my '90 Max. Dont want to lower the car but looking for a good performance strut. What have you guys used with success.

struts

I take it that the wheel alignment is mandatory after the replacement

I went with the KYB's at Shock Warehouse and was very satisfied.

Hey Mike, how long have you had your springs on? Have you had any issues with sagging? And one more thing, I was looking at your car and it's an SE, right? Well, you have a GXE grille? Did you do a swap? It looks good man!! I'm doing a swap on my GXE and hopefully I might start a new fad? I'm going to put SE taillights on because I like the darker tinted tail's. So, hopefully I can start something that will last with other people?

I think he's saying he wants a strut that is more for performance than handling a drop?
