Default Struts?
Okay, So I need to do somethign with my suspension, two of my struts need to be replaced and money doesn't grow on trees for me. So Im pretty sure I can't do coilovers. From what I hear everyone is saying ebay struts are no good? Is this true? And if so What are some good brands that won't cost an arm an a leg?

Help me out with any suggestions.

I have KYB shocks that I got from Advanced Auto. It's never good to cheap out on suspension because it will kick you in the butt later.

they're alright, lots of people on here run them. You'll get better performance out of Konis but they aren't cheap.

somewhere around $200 if you do KYB's...it's probably even cheaper than that, but I'm not even looking. Koni's will be close to 500-600
