When I am driving ,usually at slower speeds, the front makes a grinding/groaning noise when it goes over bumps and what not. I'm assuming that the struts need to be replaced. The previous owner did a lot of work on the car. They lowered it, tinted the windows, put on the rims, ect... How does one know what kind of struts are on the vehicle? I checked the springs and I saw that at least the fronts were eibach (the back springs are pretty dusty due to living on a dirt road)
I would like to get some new struts that would compliment the lowering springs. What are good struts that work well with lowering springs, but wont rip me a new one when it comes to pay for them?
I know about the koni's and kyb's. I've read the kyb's arent the best for a lowered car, but the koni's are $700 and I'm not looking to spend that much. Is there a cheaper application that is similar?

KYB's will work fine, you just gotta do the pogo mod. You can kit the kit from www.zzperformance.com

Yeah, its called the Anti-Pogo kit, its like $20... not too bad, should greatly reduce if not eliminate the dreaded pogo...

My GTP is lowered with Gen2 eibachs, and KYB GR2's with the anti-pogo mod. Yes, the anti-pogo mod works.
