Yes you can. I have intrax on my GS and Suspension techniques on my RS, both using OEM struts.

I have Apex springs with stock struts and have run with that combination for about a year.<p>However I now have some ZX2 struts, I just need to get them installed.

lol ya my friend with the same model mx-3 as me lowered his car with the same springs as i did but did not replace his struts. needless to say his car bounces all ove rthe road and teh handling is not as good.
i went suspension tech springs and some kyb struts worked out great and only for like $1000( with install since my parents would not let me do teh job )

Has anyone tried (for GS)<p>Eibach Pro kit + Tokico Struts?<p>Cheapest I could find Eibachs were 220.00
Cheapest I could find Tokicos were 166.33(fr pa)<p>I don't want to use my OEM struts and curious if anyone has a good combo. Also considering H&R too.
