OH My first fc
Hey guys! My name's Tony, I'm 17, and I just bought my 88 TII the other day. I love it. I cannot wait to build this car and I'm gunna rely a lot on this forum for help. I took it to the mechanic the other day and found out that i need new front struts. Should i go with normal struts or should I just go for coilovers? I've been looking into some Megan street coilovers. Opinions?

Welcome from one new member to another.

Coilovers hands down.
Megan's are too bad, however I would recommend something else if money isn't a issue.

Well then would you just suggest OEM struts? Or go til they break?

Sick i like The TII just like mines. except mines is GXL
FCs are almost accurate to 50/50 . But if your thinking of tracking it and taking corners or slammin' it . Coil overs are the way to go.

and in the long run it is easier to make suspension adjustments.

i recommend some coil overs stance coils are good. and megan are also

I have megan streets on my 240, no issues thus far. Fronts have camber plates which can be useful, especially in my case running wide-ish wheels
