    I already have some Eiback springs, but need to find a good set of struts. I have been looking for a decent one and so far the only thing I have come up with is the KYB Excel-G's does anyone else have any recommendations or are these pretty much my only option?? TIA

    Lowering springs are going to be harder on any OEM style strut. That being said from reading around here the KYB's seem to be the preferred struts for lowering springs. Probably AGX over the Excel G though.

    04-05 have a different sway bar set up that attaches to the strut, but you can switch to the control arm and end links from 97-03 or 06-08 and use them.
