Struts

Can't believe how difficult some "standard" parts are to find for this car. Does anyone know of a source for aftermarket struts, besides Motorsports Warehouse? I know they listed a set of Konis for $845, but let's say they're not the most responsive of vendors. I got a set of lowering springs from them, but figured if I'm going to pay the money to get them installed, I might as well get new struts while I'm at it.

So if anyone knows of other sources for aftermarket struts for the SVX, post 'em up, shoot me a PM, or email me at "socal1200r@yahoo.com".

Muchas garcia

Thanks for the tip, but I'm not interested in getting coilovers, especially since I already have the lowering springs. From what I've read, coilovers will be too harsh for the street, or at least for my comfort level. I know a lot of that has to do with the spring rates and how far down they're cranked, but I'd rather just get another set of struts, put the lowering springs in, and be done with it.
