Wow, you blew one already? Tokiko Blues/Illuminas are cheap enough and will be fine for a DD. Koni non-adjustables (the red ones…not the Sport/Yellow variants) are a great choice as well. ---

I had Koni reds on mine w/ Eibach Sportlines for a long time, and it was a super solid setup for daily driving duties. ---

Tokiko Blues/Illuminas are cheap enough and will be fine for a DD. Koni non-adjustables (the red ones…not the Sport/Yellow variants) are a great choice as well. they both blew lol one day the one the next day the other i should of just changed them when i lowered it but i figured they only had about 3000 miles on OEM Struts i figured they would hold up for only an 1.5 inches now i dont want to be super cheap because you get what you pay for but i dont want to dump a shit load into it neither as i dont want to have it this time next year but thx everyone for your input so if i want a decent strut for a decent price go with the non adjustable Koni’s? o and if some one can refer me to a good website for the struts once we figure out which will work best for me ---

they’re non-adjustables, they’ll give you a good balance between performance and ride quality, and for the money you can’t beat it. ---

if you want a cheaper alternative and still have adjustability, check out kyb agx’s as they’re supposed to be pretty decent as well. tirerack usually has pretty good prices on some shocks.
