Hey i have an eg sedan and i plan on getting s-techs with some tokico blue HPs. From what i've heard there are a good combo for daily driving. Also he you are on a budget KYB AGX is also good. Good luck!

lowering springs are good, but if your looking for performance i would recomend stepping up to a full coilover system such as omni power or teins. i just dont see spendsing 400 for struts when i can get fully adjustable height and dampering coilovers for a little more.

Re: (ekcivic9)
they ride great i have over 100k on the car and they are still good, just getting a little to bouncy, and i just did my turbo so its just suspension is next on my list...but i would deff go with it if thats a setup your looking at

wow.. you've had the stechs for 100k on the stock struts before you had any problems?
interesting.
just a little headsup, the gr2s and tokico blues are oem replacement struts. if you would like something better id step up to the agx / illuminas.
but since im broke, im going ot have to run em on the stock struts

agx is the next level up
kyb gr2= tokiko blue = oem
kyb agx=tokiko illumina = next level up

Re: need some new struts! (mega420)
i say wait a lil longer and then go for the full coilovers!!!! will be worth it, omni sells a whole suspension overhaul for a grand. includes lcas, camberkit, tie rods, apr Lowertie, and Omni coilover all the way around, thats what im doing, save ur money and do that!!
