    What do you guys suggest? I have prodrive springs on my car and want a strut that will work well with them. Thanks

    Not the stockers, lol. The prodrives ended up blowing out my '04 struts. Personally I'd go with a set of Koni inserts.

    Another option would be KYB AGXs. They ended up being $20 bucks more shipped than a set of new stock ones at 10% over cost. I haven't put them in my wagon yet, but they are also a good way to go and you don't have to hack up your old struts. I had Prodrives in my 02 RS sedan and didn't have any issues with them on the stock struts. They're designed to work with them, YMMV.

    I got mine shipped for 425.00 through CVRMotorsports, that's one of the better deals I've seen so far, although Ebay had some good pricing as well.

    I'll sell my KYB AGX's for $400, brand new in box. The ones for an 02 WRX.

    top adjusters on the back and front I believe. so you gotta take the back seats out to adjust the rears.

    Is there a middle of the road setting that would work well for all applications? Mostly aggressive street driving with the occasional lake... :)

    probably the middle setting :)
    back seats come out easy though, 2 bolts for the lower part and 2 or 3 for the upper half.
