help with replacement struts/shocks
Well it finally happened....I lowered my car with an eibach pro kit and didnt replace my stock struts....I know....I Know..but I was broke at the time......
Now my car has bottomed out and its riding like sh**. My question is do I have to replace my pro kit along with the struts when I finally get it fixed? or can I just replace the struts/shocks. If so what should I get? I need suggestions on both replacement shocks/struts and lowering springs. I would prefer something adjustable so that I can tweak it from time to time. I heard good things about Koni reds...is this the way to go?
Looking to buy parts as soon as possible......thanks.

If your springs are not craked or anything don't replace them. Its your struts that have blown out. How much are you looking to spend??? If you have some pennies saved up then may I suggest a set of koni yellows 
. I love mine!! KYB or TOKICO are also good quality struts. I all depends on how much your willing to spend really.
BUT DON'T GO CHEAP WHEN IT COMES TO SUSPENSION!!!!!!
