Well I'm looking for some new shocks and struts for my 90 coupe. I just wanna know what you guys reccommend. I don't want to spend a lot of money, but then again I don't want to spend my money on crap. I guess what I'm looking for is something in between and cost efficient. Let me know what you guys suggest...thanks!!

He said he doesn't want to spend his money on crap. I've used them, they are crap.

I've heard Tokico's are nice and won't break the bank.

you are not addressing Johnb's point.
You can't really offer any legit advice until you know what he's using the car for.

If it is a street car, go ahead and make compromises in ride quality, performance, and durability OR

buy Bilstein. The choice is yours

Well its definately not a daily driver and I want something that handles well....I'm going to either be getting maier racing springs or HR's if that matters. I guess I'm leaning towards more performance than daily driving....I'm kinda leaning towards tokicos....bilsteins are too expnensive for me....how much do a set of tokicos go for??? Who got that playas price for me!!??
