Default Which struts for my CRX

Just looking for some opinions on struts. I have a 91 Si with ES bushings, Eibach Sportlines, front and rear strut bars, lower tie bar and a Suspension Tech rear sway bar. i am also running 15" Azenis tires. I am looking for an all around good set up for the street and possibly the track. I am leaning towards a set of Bilsteins, or maybe some AGXs. I would like some Koni yellows but they are a bit pricey.

I would save for the Koni Yellows. Hate to reuse the old addage, but better to do it right the first time

Just installed them with some old beat up sportlines on my 90 si and they ride great, will give some laguna seca impressions when i drive it on the 1st of Nov.

Without a doubt, wait until you can afford the Koni Yellows. You wont be disappointed.

LOL, thanks guys. Yeah I am the type of person to do things right the first time. Looks like i'll be saving up some paychecks! Cheapest I've seen yellows is around $510 on Groupbuy. Anyone know of any good deals on them?

what sort of adjustability is there on the bilsteins? do they make a set to accomodate the 88 SI style rear control arm? thanks.

there is no adjusting with bilstein

they are already preset but how they have them set already is incredible

they do make them for the 88

Bilstein is a great company that has been makin shocks/struts since forever

think about it most european luxury cars like BMW and Audi VW swear by bilstein

like i said "set it and forget it" (a little misleading i kno)

I agree with the others. As a looooooooooong time Koni user the "yellow" sport series shocks cannot be beat for durability and adjustability too. Bilstein is very high quality, but I simply prefer Koni. Save up for them and you will probably never have to buy another set or even get them repaired - they can be redone at KoniNA in Kentucky or at Truechoice.
Enjoy the ride.
