Default Struts...???

What struts should I get? I got talked into just buying S. Tech springs. That's all I have right now, don't want to put them in without having new struts. Are those KYB GR-2 any good? They seem real cheap but probably garbage so I think I'll stay away from them. Anybody have any ideas???

They are ~200 lbs/in front and rear with about a 2" drop.

With just regular neon probably best off (keeping it simple mind you) with Tokico Blues.

If you got the springs for the SRT4

They are ~200 lbs/in front and rear with about 1.77" front and 2.05" rear drop.

That give you options of adjustable struts and higher dampening rates too without going to Koni Inserts.

You can find the Blues on Ebay for roughly $250-$270 shipped. Or you can spend more and buy them from your local Wheels/Brakes shop...
