Nopi has some toxico struts for sale for like $100something. I need em for my lowering springs. My stock struts feel like they are shot. Will I need to buy anything else , like a strut mount or will I be ok with just the struts?

You should be ok with the strut mounts that you already have (As long as they aren't really rusted over and falling apart). One question though...Toxxico? I've never heard of this brand which kinda makes me wonder about their quality. How far of a drop are you doing with your springs? Koni and KYB are the way to go for the most part. The reason I ask is because the suspension is a PITA to go and redo because just cuz you skimped on quality for a lower price. My buddy did that with some Ebay springs that were a great buy...and well they died a month later.

tokico. lol. long day man , lol. But i did some reading and those are OEM replacements anyway. So im gonna go with the KYB AGXs. Gotta get em soon. When putting the springs on , we sorta forgot a spacer..... damn rough ride. So im taking it easy for a bit so i dont mess anything up. I did some shopping and waiting with ebay. I waited till i found a brand I knew. I snagged some skunk2 springs , I was outbid on some eibach sportlines though . But so far the S2s are fine. Thanks for the info man

If you have Skunks you need to use Tokico D-Specs or Koni Yellow (or Reds if you can find them).

How far of a drop does the Skunk2s have? I have the AGXs with Tein S Techs and I love them, although the the rear has a slighty higher stance (although I like the cars stance with the rear a tad higher than the front.) Yeah and OEM replacements kinda suck with lowered stance. My buddy did his 240sx on GR2s and is definately regretting it now as he was building a drift car.

I think its like a 1.2 drop. The rear is up higher. I like be back higher myself. I know one thing though , I'm not doing the strut work this time. Took us several ours to get the front done when installing the springs , because I dont have air tools.

Checked around found the Koni Yellows at tirerack, damn they've got everything and really good prices !

Skunk2's are very stiff. The drop no longer matters when it is that overly stiff.

cool. I'll get the Konis then. Thanks for the advice. For some reason they dont have skunks listed on the spring choices in the faq section. Is that because of the stiffness ?
