I have been looking to upgrade and lower my car a little more than just with the lowering springs i have now. What would be a good strut to go with, also going for improved handling and trying to keep it reasonably cheap

The KYB-GR2's are just fine on a budget. or you can do a lot of shoping around to find a set of Koni's

I want konis just the price is what is holding me back, and kybs will probably be my choice i have heard some bad things but also some good things as long as it will drop my car more, for now its form over function.

Blew my brand new KYB-GR2 struts in less that a week. Car was sitting on Eibach sporlines at the time. Was taking it easy that week too. All depends on the drop your car has.

I don't drive my car much but I have KYB GR2's and Goldine lower springs. Installed them maybe 10,xxx miles ago and they're still good. I don't carry passengers or anything though.

ROFL yeah that was me lol. That was a very long time ago lol. It was winter so I took out the seat and brought it into the house and my mom cleaned my whole seat for me lol.

That was before I lowered my car.
