I just upgraded from KYB AGX struts to Koni inserts. The car's at C&C gettin an alignment today so I haven't been able to test them out really yet, but they're highly regarded as the best damper option for stock diameter springs for under $1k. I got mine cheaper but they're readily available for about $675/a set, shipped. Pricing just went down recently.

The best part is that they have a lifetime warranty and an excellent track record for customer service. I've seen quite a few testimonials regarding their warranty and they're all glowing...just like the reviews of them for street/autoX/track use.

The car already feels more solid yet more comfortable. We'll see if they help my times in Hawthorne.

I'm still on the same Crucial Springs and getting the same alignment.

Edit: Also, I recently learned that Tokico makes a non-adjustable (less expensive than the D-Specs) strut that's still considered to be designed for high performance springs. You might research what springs would be a good fit. In my experience there's only one setting on adjustable struts that works best for your springs and once you set it, you forget it. Perhaps there is a tried and true performance spring to match to those Tokico struts that fit perfectly. Worth a quick search anyway.
