new struts???
Are the Tokico Illumina struts good for rx7s?

I think i am going to get them b/c my stock struts are way worn out.

What do YOU recommend? -I have an '88 n/a

I do some drifting, and fast cornering....but the car is my daily driver...

thanks

a noob question here, but why would you go with aftermarket struts as opposed to new factory ones?

I do have the koni struts and I love them

They are bolt on. However, you have to adapt the front strut housing to fit them. I did a write up.
