Suspension advice
I have some tenabe street springs on my 89 gxl with stock struts. The ride is pretty stiff and bouncy. I'm thinking some new struts will smooth it out quite a bit. Anyone have any suggestions as to what I should get for shocks? Affordable and possibly adjustable. I was looking at some tokicos. Thanks

The rear Tokico Illumina damper adjustment ***** are in the location of the stock stereo speakers. This is great if your car is stripped of its stereo system. If you still have speakers in your car, then you may want to rather go with the KYB AGX dampers that have the rear adjustment ***** down by the wheel.
I have used both Illumina and AGX dampers, and have found no significant performance difference between the two. Last year when I was shopping for dampers I found the best deal on AGX at Tire Rack. Don't bother buying the KYB boots, as they will not fit properly. I haven't bought Illuminas in a while, so I am not sure where to find good pricing on those right now, but I am sure that others can chime in.
