Default Struts....which ones?

Anyone have any recommendation as to what struts I should get?

I can get 4 KYB AGX struts for $370ish shipped. I could get Skunk2 Sport struts for about $270 shipped. Any others?

I am looking for a smooth ride to help prevent bending a wheel and a strut that will last. Koni Yellows are over $600.

Koni > Tokico > KYB as far as typical struts go... I would look into Tokico Illuminas (higher end) or HP's (lower end), KYB don't really have the best track record.

In fact... Koni Special D "reds" are $357 and I found yellows for $519

proamauto.com is where it's at, great people and legit, that's where i got mine from.

That is why I posted this

So the special D's are pretty good struts? Are the adjustable? I'd look but have to be @ work in 20 minutes...and I just woke up. lol

The Tokico Illuminas on ebay are like $419. What would last the longest?
Thanks

Special D are non adjustable, I would think they're in the same bracket as the Tokico HP's.

I'd get the Tokico Illuminas for $419, you won't be disappointed. I would think they're the cheapest, longest lasting ones.

Looks like i'll be ordering some Tokico Illuminas tonight.

Alright, I am trying to find out if the Illuminas can handle a 2-3 inch drop.

This is their chart
http://www.hitachi-hap-la.com/Tokico...app/Honda.html

On the far right of the chart in the same row as my year of accord it says RAK .5-3 inches. Does that mean the drop it can handle?
