Default What struts/shocks to get?

What are some reasonably priced shocks + struts to get for my sn95. Also, is it worth it to get lowering springs without CC plates?

the cheaper teh better, but i dont want pieces of **** either


also, does the brand of lowering springs really matter?ebay has some weird brand for like $80

ok, so the kyb struts/shocks are like $38 a piece, is it worth it to get adjustables or no, also is there anything that is a little more expensive that will be noticeably better than the kyb's

only thing is, with the strange, they are adjustable yeah, but it would be $310 for all four...i can get the ford racing suspension handling kit with the bullitt front and rear shocks, springs, and sway bars...is that a better deal or are those springs and shocks crappy?

edit: that kit is $399

buy some strange 10 way adjustables and a set of either Eibach Sportline springs, or H&R Super Sport springs

KYB's are like the WORST shock/strut you can buy. The only thing worse are Gabriel...

Spend the extra loot and get Strange 10 ways or Tokico Illuminas
