I need new struts i think and i was wondering which to get. I am not into street racing or anything of the like but i would like to make my car handle better. So i was thinking since i need new struts anyway, i may as well uprgrade from stock while im at it. I dont want to lower my car at all but if thats what it takes a small amount lower will be ok i guess. Anyone have some suggestions? Is there a place on the internet to buy stock struts in case i decide just to go with that? 97 integra LS.

 

How about these?

Tokico are pretty good, I have the KYB gr-2 struts on my hatch and it rides pretty nice

 

yeah but how much are those going to lower my car. I really dont want it lowered if at all possible.

 

struts dont lower your car springs or coilovers do

 

Hey thanks for that. So those struts i linked to wont do anything but make my suspension tighter?

 

call me old fashion, but i love my agx's

 

So i found those on ebay for 244 plus shipping. How much can i expect to pay for basic factory replacements? I mean if i went to a independent guy, how much could i expect to pay for the struts not including labor? How much can i expect to pay for labor?

 

OEM struts would probally cost more than aftermarket ones, Im sure you can find a used pair somewhere for a few bucks but just get new ones Tokico, KYB. etc.. As for labor its probally going to cost from $200.00 to $400.00 depends on where you go

 

So what is the real advantage to aftermarket struts? How do they change a cars ride?
