Default blown struts.

hey, bought a 99 ls teg and guy said he put coilover springs hp 350 or w/e blue springs on and blew the struts after a month or so cause he slammed the car low, he then bought some aftermarket kybg oem struts and put them on, being oem replacements the coilovers blew those too, so im stuck with blown kybg struts on what looks like blue coilovers.. i ordered the 23 mm sway bar and beaks kit for the rear and the tower itr strut bar for the front and the itr trunk bar and a new stage 3 racing clutch kit with xlite 9.5 pound flywheel, also i have skunk2 camber kit pro series running on their ATM instead of stock A ARMS and joints. im just wondering what the best shocks for this setup would be....

are the coilovers that are on there now good? can i just buy som good struts and save my coilovers to save $$$ or do i need new springs or w/e if so what should i buy? skunk2 kit tokico blues kit or koni yellows, this car is my daily driver, in a stop n go city with some occasional highway driving, planning a road trip for 3weeks though, ,

so any links or suggestions on what my shocks setup should be is appreciated so i can order them up ASAP, been riding like this stock and blown struts for 2 months now, its so gay,

Can't go wrong with koni yellows I have them and they're awesome for daily and track.

Tokico blues are little more than OEM replacement. Stay away.

I say go for koni yellows and better springs or coilovers. A good quality spring will only set you back a couple of bills and will be infinitely better than your cheapo coils in terms of performance and comfort. I don't know about Integs, but on my prelude I run neuspeed race springs (2") and they're comfy even in the shitty streets of san jose.
