    Which struts??

    So i just got some new springs, Sprint with about a 2.25" drop. I am going to need new struts now since they are such a big drop. what struts should i get? what makes a good combo with the Sprint springs? I want a nice firm sport like ride. but I dont want to spend more than $500 on the struts. I am looking at the Koni's right now and the Koni reds seem like a good price.

    any input will help. post some good setups with Sprint springs.

    Thanks

    Koni Yellow. I guess Red's aren't bad, just less adjustable and I once heard they aren't quite as stiff. Tokico's are other recommended struts.

    KYB AGX is softer from what I read... and the NEW Skunk2's are apparently a bit softer as well.

      KYB AGX were decent... but I wasn't a huge fan. The adjustable settings went from "not soft enough" to "not stiff enough". The warranty is also void after 1.5"

      I have Koni Yellows now, and they're amazing. Mine are pretty beat up as well (weird, since they were never driven that hard, or that far... ) I've heard good things about Koni Reds. My friend used to autocross his cb7 with them, and he did quite well.

      I've never liked Tokicos much... I think their advertising bothered me. They always came off as cheap. The Illuminas are their good adjustable ones, though.



      My vote goes to the Konis. Yellows if you can afford them, Reds if not. Both are great quality.

            how did it ride with the Sprint springs and stock struts?? I thought they could blow a strut because they go so low

              They will. People who have been lucky like to use their luck as an excuse to tell others it will be safe.

              Stock struts are old. The age alone will make them likely to fail when the car is lowered. They are not valved to be lowered like that. Drive very carefully, and they MIGHT last. Maybe as long as they would with the stock springs. Push your car, hut a pothole, or ride on some rough roads on a regular basis, and you might find yourself with one or more blown. I've had a blown strut. Just one. Going 75mph down the highway with even one blown is fairly frightening. Every little bump makes that wheel leave the ground.

                I think you're right, Zach. The reds are adjustable, but they have to come off. The yellows are a simple knob twist... and the stiffness goes from butter smooth to go-kart.
