    If you are on a budget, the KYB GR2's are decent. I had them on when I had regular coilovers. They rode as good as you can expect coilovers and decent struts to ride. I upgraded to some D2 full body coilovers though.

    The KYB's were just as strong when I pulled them out as when I put them in. I had my corolla slammed and none of them blew. If you are on a budget I would highly recommend them. They usually run about 250-275. If you can afford it though, a lot of people like the Tokico HP's which usually run about 100 more. I have never ridden on the Tokicos but I can tell you the KYB's are just fine.

    If you are looking for full body coilovers, you are looking at close to 1000. My D2's were ordered from Australia and ran me 1300 but I think there are some American dealers now that could get them for like 900. They are 36 way adjustable, camber adjustment plates in the front and pillowball mounts in the back. Just search D2 racing.

    Tokico HP's are very nice struts. I've been riding on them with H&R Sport springs for almost 2 years now, and I've had no problems to speak of. Car still rides smoothly, but very firm.
