    Don't want to lower...

    I don't want to lower my Pro, I have to climb over a curb to get up my driveway (gay) so I can't afford to lose any ground clearance. My shocks seem pretty dead (146,000 miles) so i've been thinking about the KYB's from NOPI for $47 apiece... good deal?

    lol, lower it and park on the street. I think everyone is saying the zx2's for the 1st gens. I have kyb gr2's and msp springs, which make my car just a tad lower than stock and i love the struts. I got them for about the same at www.horspowerfreaks.com
    According to my Anger Management Counselor, after 26 weeks of anger management class, I should be an expert when it comes to Anger Management...tell that to the guy who threw a starburst at my car in rush hour traffic...haha

      yes, the zx2's are the way to go. I just installed them on my car and love them to death.
      The struts are only $150 from oemfordparts.com. You will also have to buy a set of zx2 thrust bearings which run about $38 for the pair. So your looking at around $220 after shipping.

                ZX2 Struts with the H&R Springs, I haven't ever hit going in any driveway. The H&R's are great for our cars! Going in at an angle helps too, my friend has to do that in his Civic.

                  There is literally no break in the curb for our driveway, I don't know what they were thinking when they designed it. Wouldn't you want the entrance to be flush with the street? I'm so confused... how much does it cost to rent a jack-hammer?
