I'm planning to get some koni str.t struts with h&r sport springs. Is this ok or would i need to get adjustable struts (koni sports) with lowering springs? I don't race btw, this is just for daily driving.

the Str.t struts are supposed to be more OEM i think, like most ppl who run Tokico Blue with lowering springs i would assume these would be ok but they will go before there time i guess.

yea they resemble oem. i just think i don't need adjustable struts because i don't want my sedan too low. i feel the h&r sport springs would make it low enough.

H&R sports are not going to lower your car a lot. The drop might not even be noticeable to the average person.

Go with Tokico HP's for struts.

LOL, yeah that's what everyone says. The roads are no better in Hartford I assure you. You just have to be careful.

The adjustable part isnt the height on the shocks as much as it is the ride.

I'm running H&R Sport and you should be fine. The drop is pretty decent and barely noticeable. The ride is also extremely smooth and at times even if you wanted to take tight turns, the springs react extremely well to it.

^ Yes... I would place Koni STR.T between Tokico HP (nicer) and KYB GR2 (worse)...

I think you would be the first on the forum to buy the STR.Ts...
