Struts, Please recommend....
The current set up I have now is:
1995 EJ Civic with Eiback Pro-Kit, Bilstein Yellow Struts, and ST Sway Bars.
I need to replace my struts soon please recommend a Brand/Model.
I most use the car for every day commute, but want some more agressive handling, at the same time do not want it too bumpy.

No need to lift vehicle or use special tools.

Tokico Illumina's here (white 5 way adjustable version). Not terribly expensive, a little more than the KYB AGX's though, but I've been completely satisified.

I say go for the Koni red's. I currently have the Tokico Illumina's with Pro Kit springs - I like the ride but wish it was more firm. I will be going with Skunk2 coilovers and Koni red's - WestCoastStyle has them and his ride is unbelieveable! Corners so flat it makes me want to :barf:

koni yellows if you've got the cash, kyb agx if you don't. Illuminas are good too, but I don't think they're much better than the kyb's, and they cost a bit more.
Koni Yellows are BY FAR the best shock I've ever used, and probably the best off-the shelf shock offerred for our cars.
