Struts

Already have GF210 springs on my car (http://www.tanabe-usa.com/gf210.asp?id=3)

And looking for a good strut to do a combo with. One that's good with DD too. I never really went to Spring and Strut combo. And not sure if any springs will do. But any help or suggestion with what route to go to is appreciated.

I tried searching for strut and combo what not... Found nothing useful. Unless there's a certain "word" I have to type in...

If you just want a set of struts, your best bet will be a set of Bilstein struts. Either used off an MR, or a set of new Bilstein HDs. If you don't like Bilsteins, then I can offer you a set of used (50K miles) stock KYB struts you can have for $cheap.

Then you need to ask this question in the Evo X forum.
