Default Strut time what did you use?

It's time for me to replace my struts cause i just can't take the clunking any more. So i order lowering springs from Canuck Motorsport (SCC from what i understand) and looking for a good strut and I only can find the Bilsteins (and of course they cost a fortune). So i have read you can use the KYB if you swap the lower control arms and swaybar end links to the pre 04. What i would like is your opinion or your experience on what you used. Did you use the trans and motor spacers and what struts or coil overs did you use and how dose it ride?

Would you just use the regular ones if your springs are stock? I thought you only needed the HD ones if you are lowering the car (like the original poster). I need rear struts and am just going to order the regular non-HD ones.

I just wish there were more options. I think I'm going to go with the agx's they are cheaper and they can handle the drop. I had them on my Eclipse and liked them.
