    Koni's are a bit over $100 each. You really should get them for at least the front (nothing else available can effectively dampen the extra stiff front sport springs for our cars)
    To save money you can get away with tokico's in the rear for about $65 each since the spring rate is lower for the rear springs.

    sportlines,uhhgg the absolute weakest rear spring rates of any 3rd gen spring. Your car will understeer allot more. Do yourself a favor and compensate for them by installing a suspension techniques rear sway bar, keeping the stock front sway bar. In my opinion the H&R's are a better spring with just as good a reputation.

    I'm searching for a post that someone did asking about sportlines and what sturt to run. Koni is the correct answer, but when I find the thread it does have some interesting discussion's. Here's a different one that is on topic.

    And you should read this.

    I noticed that when I went threw posts for the last 5 months that I saw post's from members who got advice from me as to what struts to run. They didn't take my advice for what ever reason, and they are now looking to replace their front struts with koni's cause their having to deal with the issues I said they would. Koni's are expensive and it's not my fault that we can't get KYB AGX sturts. Suspension parts need to perform properly in order to ride and drive right, go the cheap route and get it wrong and your just gonna end up buying struts all over again. Do it right the first time you won't be sorry.
