Well I have a 96 LS integra and my rear and front driver side struts are blown. I have AGX coilovers so my ? is can I just replace my struts with any other kind of strut? Or does it have to be a specific one?

you ought to replace your shocks in fron/rear pairs.

btw, why do you think your shock is blown?

hmmm sound isnt necessarily a sign of a blown shock. performance is really the key.

a really blown shock will make the car shake when going straight and slightly turning or getting on and off throttle. kinda hard to explain, but whatever.

I was slam for a while then I started having proablem like shaking really badly and I have to take it to a shop and they said that I was sitting too low and had to raise it up a inch and a half. Which I didnt really understand bc I see all most everting sitting pretty low. But they said it was binding my axles or something like that.B I would like to lower it down when I get new struts. Which would be the best to get?
