are new struts worth it??

for you guys that have tokico or kyb's, with like a 1.5' drop, is it worth it? Did it improve the ride much? Also by adjustable, does that mean you can adjust the height at all, or just the stiffness? Cause I heard some aftermarket struts make your car like a half inch lower.

One more thing, does anyone else with a mild drop and 18"s get alot of wheel hop on their launches? Think new struts would help this at all?

thanks, rb

at some point, your stock ones will blow...you might as well get them done. Koni adjustables do have adjustable perches to lower height a bit more...kyb adj only adjust dampening (stiffness). Hope that helps

The difference between KYB AGXs and OEM struts is like night and day! The ability to adjust the stiffness is wonderful!
