Any moderatly priced adjustable struts that could be changed to coil overs later down the line?
Or brands I should just stay away from?

KYB adjustables are probably going to be the best priced, unless you can find a deal on Koni reds like I did. Not sure of the change to coil over though....

Go with the new STRANGE adjustables, very nice pieces around $115 each JEGS carries them...converting to a coil over is easy

These Strange 10Ways?

Just making sure.
None of the speed shops around here seem to keep any instock. And none of them carry strange struts.
So Summit is my only way

Edit: Put in an order for em anyways. Hope this cures my problem...

Yep, Summit use to not carry them but I guess they started.

Not sure where you are located but if you are in MI, Team Z Motorsports or Skinny Kid Racecars may also be able to help you.

Nowhere close, live up in NH.
Thanks for the replies though.
Been having a rubbing problem, current struts are shot after a QA1 K-Member install.
Plopped in some polyurethane spring isolators to try and fix the problem along with CC plates.
It sort of helped, but during the installation process noticed the struts were basically gone.
So it's still basically riding on the fender.
(car's lowered 1.5" to boot)

Check out http://www.stangsuspension.com/store/shockcat.asp

I've used them and saved quite a bit in the past.
