I just can`t understand why someone will want to spend more money on struts that are not as good as the Tokico ZX2 struts.<p>I bought the Koni`s, but that`s because I`m in Norway, and it`s a lot easier to get hold of Koni`s here. (nobody here knows what a ZX2 is, as it`s an american model)<p>I know I would buy ZX2 struts if I had the chance.
They are good an dirt cheap.
The Blue`s are more expensive and not nearly as good. But hey, if you got too much money lying around... be my guest and waste them :D <p>nope-mx3

You can get suspension technique springs from JC Whitney. If you can come up with a coupon code(on the back of their catalog) you can get another 10% off. They don't list them on the website but it doesn't mean they don't have them. The ST part # for the MX-3 is #60335. Give them a call and see if they can get them. JC is $30 cheaper than corksport, and like a said if you can come up with a catalog you can save another $16 on top of that.<p>[ September 03, 2003: Message edited by: TsiMiata ]</p>

The zx2's require modification, true, but the amount of work it requires is so little that any moron could perform it with a dremel.<p>It took me about 20 minutes with a HAND DREMEL to expand the hole enough to whack in the thrust bearing.
