Struts for non-performance?

Post by lakersfan1 »

OK. All the posts on strut replacement I've seen have all seemed to have to do with performance and based on how far you're lowering your car. I'm never, ever lowering my car, and stock handling is fun enough. Are there any recommendations for stock ride height applications that won't break the bank, and are fairly plush to save my backside?
