Default suspension ideas

hey,

i've got a question mainly about springs. here is the deal. i don't really want to lower my car, but i do want to perhaps increase my suspension performance. so i'm thinking about getting some new struts (tokico blues maybe??) and just keep my stock springs. is this a bad idea? by the way, i have a 93 lx w/ 140,000 miles on it, if it matters thanks!

Dave

PS - i'm never gonna be racing really, and no track autocross stuff, so i don't need some kick booty struts like koni yellows i just want some decent ones, i was even thinking about the kyb GR-2 struts... those are cheap!

Thanks,
Dave

You should be fine with just the Tokico blues with stock springs...

Tokico blues will be good if you don't plan on lowering your car. If you think you *might* be lowering your car some time in the future, I would go with the KYB AGX's now. Do it right, do it once
