I need new struts but i dont know what kind. Im riding on ground control coilovers what would yall recommend

koni yellows

Koni and Bilstein are probably the best you can go but they only sell inserts so you might have to do a bit of work if your back shocks aren't rebuildable.

KYB are quite good, most people on here just use them.

KYBs are oem replacements brand new with lowered is better than old struts and lowered. Koni and Belsteins are expensive, you might wanna think of getting full coilovers since you will be in the hundreds range already.

everyone says there isn't much different with kyb replacements as stock they use it, but everyone has to remembering the kyb in it are oil shocks where as the new ones are gas, so a big difference if they are good or blown.

new shocks are always better than worn shocks no matter whether gas or not.

i just put some ebay coilovers on my car. the rear has the sleeve turned like 5 turn up and the front has no sleeve. my car sits like 2" off the ground with stock struts. the struts bottom out on like every bump. does anyone make a strut that wont bottom out when sitn that low?

koni will cost you somewhere around $750 plus the ground controls or lowering springs which is another 150. so ya what trd proven said coilovers is ur better choice if ur getting koni and springs. ksport coilovers are around $950.

question? why is it that when you order kyb gr2 the front comes as inserts and rear as the whole assembly??

K-Sports are not even comparable to Koni's. The adjustabilty of Koni's are unmatched. They offer a two way adjustable rebound and compression strut, also they are hand crafted in Belgium vs K-Sports made in China. By combining koni's with eibachi ground controls you will get better ride control than any low end coilover.
