Don't sweat it, everyone forgets a thing or two now and then.

Anyhoo, the performance struts that you're trying to think of are KYB GR2's. The homepage is at http://www.kyb.com There are a lot of online stores that sell them for a pretty reasonable price, usually around $40-$50 per strut. You should replace the front and back at the same time to ensure good handling and ride quality, as well as good front-rear balance.

I know they dont lower the car height any, I just want to see how my car performs with the new struts. Then if it still isnt satisfactory then lowering will be the next thing I will do.
