Suspension Techniques all the way. I highly doubt you will find anyone on this forum that will say anything negative about em'. They go very nicely on ZX2 Struts too :D .

if you can find them, id prefer H&R springs, but otherwise, ST is the way to go.

I have H&R springs and tokico struts, I love that combo, not very stiff. The car is a great everyday driver. :)

when you put the struts in, youre going to have to take everything back apart. just seems annoying to do the same work twice. Save up until you can do it all at once.

I just want to make one thing very clear. Just because Suspension Techniques are cheaper than H&R lowering springs does NOT mean they are any less in quality.
