I finally replaced my front struts last weekend (they were both blown), and the is much better, but, still too loose for me.
I was looking at some better struts, and it has kind of come down to two different ones, Koni Red Streets, or Tokico Illumina Adjustables.
The names are both known to me, but I have never had any expeirence with either.
I was hoping for some opinions of them before I buy, or if any one has another suggestion, it would be welcome.
For a little info, I am puting this on a 95 GS, 5-speed. I have an Eibach Pro-kit spring set on the way, and am running 215/50ZR17 Riken Raptors.

What are you using the car for? Just a d/d? What struts did you put on the front that you are not satisfied with?


I had the Tokico 5 ways on my old gs-t and i love them. I paired them with a set of neuspeed springs along with an Ingalls camber kit. Great success.

It will mainly be as a DD for now, with weekend on road canyon "driving" (lots of tight curves, and hills).
I am eventually going to do a 420a turbo build, so, doing the struts is one thing I can do, and not have to worry about needing to change after the build.
If you have had good luck with the Tokico's, I think I will do some more looking for info on them.
How do they stand up to being lowered? (The Eibach kit lowers approx. 1.2 inches, if th specs are to be believed)
