What's the best struts to buy? All i've heard about are tokiko. Are there any others that are worth looking at? Money being a definite factor, me being a college student. Thanks. :cool:

I got KYB GR2 struts on mine, they work fine, are a little stiffer than stock struts and they really help cornering.<BR>p.s. someone recommended me to use KYB gr2 struts with H&R coils, apparently it's the hottest setup there is. i'm getting the coils after this fu?&*"/$?* winter.

personally, i'd go with gc's. i just like the whole adjustability factor.

Brand-wise, Koni, KYB, Bilstein, & Tokico are the big players. Each brand has different levels of damping/adjustability.<P>Personally, on a tight budget, if you want damping adjustability, I'd suggest KYB AGX's. If you don't need adjustable, I'd say Bilstein. Although the bilstein may be more expensive than a non-adjustable KYB or Tokico - I'm not sure. Ultimately, which shocks you pick should be decided on the springs your running & what kind of driving you'll be doing.<P>You'll have to check as to what's available for your application - I'm not sure on the specifics of that either.

If you looking to save a buck and get some performance you best bet are the Tokico's. You can find them for less than a $100 if you look around and they will give you some stiffness, they are also good if you plan to lower your car later with either drop springs like H&R, Suspension Tech, Jamex, or coil overs like Ground Control.
