Struts blown

Took my CL to have an oil change today, had been hearing a bit of a whining sound, they told me my back struts were blown and the front ones were on the verge. I evidently need new struts, any suggestions for brand or what to do.....

What are you after? Stock ride? something a little more performance orientated via external adjustability to ride? The cheapest you can get?

I'd like to have something fairly nice, not the best, but I don't need to make adjustments to my suspension. Not the best, not the worst.

I'd recommend the TOKICO HP shocks. They will work well with the TEIN springs. If you have the money the KONI shocks are a better choice though.

If you need either let me know or check out our website. Both are good in stock.

I'd go with Tokico HP (blues) as well. That's going to me my next set and I'm lowered on springs as well.
Koni yellows are probably the best springs you can buy for this car and they cost like it too.

Is "nuts" a good or bad thing?
