2002 LS Struts & Shocks

OK, I been searching for Struts & Shocks for my 2002 Lancer LS for a while now and I still can't seem to find any better then the factory pieces of **** I have. I have to replace them every 6 months due to them not handling the coil overs I have.

IF ANY1 KNOWS OF ANY HIGH PERFORMANCE SHOCKS & STRUTS THAT I CAN USE OR SOME WAY TO MODIFY SOME PLEASE LET ME KNOW!

It's starting to get a little costly and can't get much further with the car till i can stop wastin money!

Thanks

There seems to be a misconception. Just because you stay less than a 1.5" drop doesn't mean that your shocks won't suffer or die. They will cause mroe stres and a shorter life on the shocks., How bad depends on how you drive, how bad the roads are, etc. Even if you lower it 1", they could blow in 6 months or last 6 years.
