Yes you do need struts cuz it would be bouncy as hell and they'll finish like 5x faster.

Tokico blues and Bilstein (TRDs) are the only struts that are capable of handling those rates. KYBs are pretty much stock.

If you lower less than 2", KYB's does the job well. I got Teins and KYB and they are perfect.

Generally, they aren't very good for any car. :lol: You would for sure be better off with a full coilover solution, IMO.

I agree too. Shoulda picked up that one set in Socal for 500 for a set of Ksport Kontrols. Just keep your eye out for these deals man. On Ebay and on Craigslist.
