It's time for new struts and shocks. I was curious to know those with cut springs, what struts are you running? Any suggestions? I know OEM style will work, but it is no secret they are not in their optimum performance range after the spring is cut.
Thanks.

The kyb shocks work very well on lowered cars that's what I run

After about 30 thou or so miles on cut springs and stock struts I am starting to feel some slop. I have read some really good things about the KYB's and will probably go that route myself.

Likewise. I cut mine spring 2007. Mine seems "floaty".

Gee I figured you would go with a lift kit to get those "Swappers" into the wheel wells.:D

Factory replacement stuff is good for a factory stock car. Aftermarket parts are usually engineered to perform better and deliver more of what you are looking for... better road manners, more control, and you will be happy with the results.

I've had the KYB's on for over 6 months now Charlie w/1.25 coils cut off - rides very nice. With your S/C I wouldn't go over one coil.
With the KYB you have to buy new bushings seperately. They are worth the money vs trying to re-use the old ones.
