new strut options

Well it has come time to replace the struts on my 90 vert and I am looking for options. This is my daily driver and hence I do not need anything performance wise. Could someone recommend a decent strut at an inexpensive price? thanks!

Of course for $47 more, (from what I understand about the prices... check to confirm!) you could have gotten the KYB AGX adjustables... when you put it that way, isn't it worth it?

true, but i'm not going to be doing an auto x's or anything like that. just pretty much normal city driving, with occaisonal spirited runs on my way to college (some nice long/curvy roads). so i didn't see much point in getting adjustable struts. i just need something cause my struts were really bad, and why not get a little bit of an upgrade from stock? but if u are into the auto x's stuff, spending the extra $47 would be worth it.

Thumbs up

well i got my car back today, and she handles like a dream. i didn't really get a chance to push her too hard, but it felt like the car was on rails going around turns.

I have KYB non adjustables on my TII.They are a bit stiffer than factory and have worked well for the past 2 yrs in everyday use.Since I bought mine in Canada price info is not relevant.

Thanks for all the input... I put in to get a quote a shox.com, (I kind of dont like that), but I guess I will wait and see. If I can get all four struts replacements and get 4 adjustables for 47 more than I will probably do that, otherwise the nonadjustables will be fine.
