    The KYB's are probably best out of those three..

    The Monroe's I have had in the past were pretty crappy. They also don't appear to have a warranty... (The KYB's said lifetime warranty on that website)

    FYI, None of those shocks are compatible with lower springs. (just throwing that out there!)

        what are the spring rates of those coil over sleeves?

        The rates are probably too high for those struts. Those struts are meant for OEM springs and ONLY OEM springs. (if I remember correctly)

        You may want to wait until someone with more experience chimes in on the subject.....

          I'd recommend KONI STR.T for your strut option.

          I have these struts with Neuspeed Sport Springs. Steel wheels and stock size tires on my car. I like them a lot.

              Doesn't matter how low you got, its about the spring rate. The spring moves up and down faster then the strut can handle and it overheats and blows.
              wat?

                I don't know how long ago you purchased those, but if it was recently, go get your money back and get something more reputable. Are you really willing to risk your life, others lives, and your car to install some $60 "NO NAME" Coilovers that are responsible for keeping you on the road?

                Putting those coilovers on any sort of stock/oem like suspension is just going to blow the struts super fast. Save yourself some money in the long run and do right, instead of do it twice.

                I hope you like boating, because with that suspension setup your heading into choppy waters.

                  STR.T are not yellow. They are orange and priced affordable. And they are meant for lowering as well.

                  But, go on spend your money as you like buying what you like.

                    I suggest reading these:

                    and don't cheep out on suspension parts. They are the most important part for keeping you and your car on the road. (well, tires may be the first....)

                      o damn i didnt know they were only that much im getting those but i cant afford the neuspeed sripings till next paycheck or 2 so will these last on my ebay coilovers they brand new and they only a 1-4inch drop ill keep them at the highest so i do damage the struts and buy springs asap is that ok?!


                      ALSO im on 18inch rims with 215 35 r18.. so i dont know if that matters or not..

                      and wait y is one more that the other?! i thought they were the same front right and left y is one 80 and the other 65?!!

                      this is the only good picture i have of how it sits rite now on colpletely blown ass struts and some knock off brand skunk ebay coilovers that are cross threaded on 2 and just so you know thats how it was when i bought it now im trying to go around and fix everything..

                      i have them as high as they can go because the alignment is so bad i went thru brand new tires in a few months or less
