Default What struts to buy?

Well, it’s time to buy struts, and I’m a little stuck. I’ve read other threads that discuss the pros and cons of different struts…but I can’t decide on what way to go with struts. Because I wouldn’t mind my ride being just a tad lower, I was thinking Koni Sport struts to be able to adjust height just a little. However, the price is just a bit more than I’d like to spend. Are there any other struts that can be used to lower my car a notch? I’m running Eibach Sportlines, and basically want to go a bit lower without going to coilovers or different springs. Any suggestions? Thanks for the input.

Thanks for the input...my next choice aside from the Konis will probably be KYB AGX's, but I just can't decide if it'll be worth the extra money to be able to drop my car a bit more. Are there any other struts with the height adjustment feature? Also, where's a good place to buy struts online?

agx's dont handle really low drops (2.5" and lower) that well. i thought koni yellows had adjustable perches (3 settings?)

Thanks again for all the input. I decided I'll probably go with the AGX's at this point in time...I would like to drop my car a little more, but apparently the Koni Yellows can lower the car .5" or raise it .5", which doesn't seem like it's worth it just for that feature. So I think I'll save some money on struts, go with the KYBs, and put that money toward camber kits.

I have tokico illuminas and like them. I have heard nothing but good stuff about the AGX's, plus they are a little cheaper than the illuminas.

Koni Yellows are the way to go if you can afford it though. Not for the fact that they "lower the car .5" or raise it .5"", but because they offer an awesome feeling ride.

I have the KYB AGX struts on my car along with H&R sport springs and its pretty nice, or will be when i fix em. If you are looking for a place to buy the AGX's, go to coximport.com and if u look on the forum somewhere there is a code u can use to save $10. Good luck and post some pics afterwards! :thumbup:

I'll be getting new struts in a couple weeks. When I get them installed, I'll make sure to get pics posted.
