My car 1995 Civic EX

I bought some 1991 Civic struts (Tokito blues) for my civic, I was told its better cuz there lower to slam the car so the struts dont where out as fast.
Only thing needed to put them on was the Fork.

So I put the 91 Civic Fork in, put the new struts in with my Coilovers, took the bump stops completely out and the car Road great for a while........

here recently about a month ago, I had new tires put on so I got an aligment and the car height was perfecyt, no rubbing or anything W/17" rims 205/40 tires, car road awesome.

Well, today the car Now rubbs like crap, and bounces in the front, and the rid is crappy. I havent even had the struts a WHOLE YeAR, mabey 7 months or so.........

The car is kinda low, not SLAMMED, I have no fender gap, but ride height is acceptable, not SLAMMED as I said before. its kinda low



I obviously need new struts, my question is, should I swap back to 95 civic struts? Did the 91 civic Ford or struts make the struts wear out faster? Mabey Tokito Blues are complete Junk?

I am going to buy some KYB AGX adjustable struts, and I want to avoid them wearing out so fast.
Could taking the bump stops out cause this??
