Best Struts for H&R SS springs?

[02 Sonic Blue]

I've got a set of H&R SS springs waiting to be installed, and i've got a pair of tokico illumina rear shocks, and i've got the steeda c/c plates, and the new MM spring isolators, but im missing one thing! front struts. I'm buying these parts used (everything but isolators) so i'm looking for some used tokico illumina struts if anybodies got them, but if i cant find those, what else would work good up front with these springs? Im not looking to spend more than really $150 or so. Let me know what you guys think.
Thanks,
Drew

im not too sure about this, but maybe you could get away w/ a pair of Mach 1 struts

The Mach 1 struts will blow out rather quickly. http://www.mach1review.com/review_hr_ss_springs.html

You should get a set of struts that are made for a lowered firde. Tokico has the Illuminas (p/n BB3140) for around $150 each and the Premium Performance (p/n HB3026) about $110 each. KYB, Koni and some others will have struts for this application, but Tokico's are the most popular over on the Mach 1 sites.

Do your rear shocks too as they will also fail. Good luck.

I went with KYB AGX adjustables... bought the older year struts because they are shorter. Havent installed them yet...
8-way adjust via a wheel on the shock, and 4-way udjust with a screwdriver on the top of the strut under the hood. They look nice, we'll see....

I have heard nothing but GREAT things about the Strange 10 way adjustables. I'm buying them!

Bilsteins, all the way, next would be the Tokico's much better than KYB...
