ZX2 struts, and I'm back

Hey guys,
After a 7 month hiatus due to unemployment and such, I've decided to join this list (instead of the old Yahoo tech list) and start working on the Pro again. There's a new autocross season ahead and it needs some help.

I noticed some discussion about the KYB ZX2 struts that fit the Pros. I happen to have the Eibach springs and my old KYBs are shot and the Tokicos are too d**n expensive (still no job). Are they are direct bolt-in, or do they need some modifications? And can anyone point me to the website again, I've lost the link?

thanks, and be seeing you around

tom

Welcome Tom!

BTW, that's the old link, it may not work....here's the new:
(Jesse update your bookmarks ) here's a tip, all the new links simply need "automediazone" to replace "tintandalarms", thats it.

http://www.automediazone.com/pro/ZX2_strut_install.htm

that's just the strut page, the whole site is at the link in my signature.

oh and the ZX2-R struts are made by Tokico, not KYB

Actually, i found out that the tintandalarms site has been paid up till the end of 2002, so it'll still be there, but i will be moving it all over to automediazone...

Do you guys get these struts just because they are cheaper, or do they perform better than the struts for the protege too?

The Tokico ZX2 struts we are talking about are racing struts, they are not the regular OEM struts for the ZX2. They are equivilent to the Tokico Performance Blues, although a bit more dampening, as Jesse mentioned. For the money, you can't beat the performance. I have had mine for about 6 months and i just love em.
