is that your car in your sig? Looks like its lowered already. You can use them with your stock struts. You'll blow your struts if you dump your car, but if you're only going down 1.5", then you're fine. Koni Yellows for struts would be a good choice though..

i installed some "tokiko blues" on a buddys CRX, a while ago with the skunk2's and it was a pretty nice ride for the $$.
-it did need have serious alleignment problems though.
for what it was, with the alleignment problems, it was pretty nice.

Put them in and start saving your money. Once the struts blow then take however much money you have and get new ----. If they blow quickly get some KYB AGX's if they blow 2 years from now get some like $4,000 rally ----.
