Hard Struts

I am almost ready to get some struts for the 1st gen but what I am wondering is how hard are the non adjustible? I dont really need adjustible ones since they would be cranked almost full stiff anyways.. Are the Tokico Blues really stiff? what are my options? they will be paired with RB springs and bushings, Thanks!

The non-adjusts are fairly hard, better than stock. I'd say they are about a 3 setting on the adjustables. Not a bad deal for sure but, I'm gonna go with adjustables because everyone I've read from says that the first gens tend to be over steery. SO with the adjustables it will give me much better control of my setup.

I guess it really depends on the type of driving you plan on doing. I enjoy mountain roads so that is my main concern. I was also planning on RB front springs and stock rears.

PS: Nice mod list, but is your motor clearenced and balanced? Like the 10k redline too!
