Looking for Stiffer Performance Struts

I tried searching, but just got threads on springs.


I have done a kind of 'sport' conversion. Z springs up front, and coupe springs in the back, and changed my stock non sport struts out to sport struts off an 04 sport model sedan.

I'd like to make it a bit stiffer. Are there any struts that i should look for concerning value, features, ect?

Thanks!

either the Z or G tokico d specs should work. From what I've read they're the same except for a 1/2" shorter on the Z's.

Save your money... and get em

you can also go with bilsteains which are prob a better strut if you don't care for them being non-adjustable.

Are the Z units any stiffer than the sport sedan units?

I have a set of coupe shocks with low miles on them if you're interested. I run Konis
