    you can't get adjustable unless you've got coilovers. show me ONE solution for aftermarket struts that is "adjustable" without electronic gizmo's. ONE.

    you're better off going with springs if you don't want coilovers.

    p.s.

    coilovers are only available for AWD? um, what planet are you on? i can think of 6 different brands that offer FWD coilovers for 3/s just off the top of my head.

    Tokico D-Spec
    Tokico Performance Shocks - Aftermarket and OEM Shock Absorbers, Struts and Suspension
    Adjustible.

    KYB AGX Adjustable Front Shocks from HorsepowerFreaks
    Adjustible

    So you want to see if DSM stuff fits (it doesn't) and spend $500 on"adjustable" struts, and another $200 on springs? You can get coilovers for slightly more than that, and they are actually made for a 3s.

    Don't worry I considered pricing.

    I actually was just talking about how its very easy to find KYB AGX or Koni Yellows for sale on DSM Classifieds for half price, and sometimes they have springs. there was a full set of KYB AGX the other day 200$ + Shipping. New in box. you can get CHEAP coilovers for slightly more...I've heard alot of negative things for Ksport and Megan (AKA the cheap coilvers) for people who actually look for performance over the ability of slamming their car using coilovers.

    And I have had Megan's on my car for 4 years. I didn't buy them to slam my car. The car handles like its on rails.

    I drove the shit out of my car. Ask DocWalt about the mountain cruise we went on. He was behind me and afterwards told me he was amazed at how my car hugged the road. I put over 40k miles on the car with the Megans installed.

    I did the 40k miles in about 3 years.

    What difference does it make in how long it took me to get to 40k miles? I was unemployed for 9 months so I didn't do much driving.

    Haha, yeah, your car was really planted. Especially compared to my weak ass stock suspension I got a ride in Kevin's car with his Megans and they felt pretty good for being "cheap" coilovers.

    Blackmount, I had Tokico TEMS compatible shocks in my Supra and the adjustments actually made a big difference which was great considering they were so cheap. It was more noticeable than the ECS on my VR-4. There's not any adjustable struts like that for 3Ses and the DSM stuff doesn't fit.
