Tokicos $335 shipped. and yes change the struts because if you lower your car on stock struts youll probably blow them.

Change them all at once, you'll save time and money. SHOX.COM quoted me $300 shipped a few weeks ago.

change them because you're already there when installing the springs. Trust me you might spend more money now but it is worth it.

KYBs are good
Tokicos are good

I have H&R springs with Toks, and they are holding up OK. I wish the tokicos were a bit stiffer, but hey.

If you want ultimate performance, get Koni. If you don't want to spend that much, get Tokico.
