This the only thing I know of that exists strut wise.

Personally, I'd just use the stock struts until a complete set becomes available.

Agreed. I'd wait for some good quality ones.

our shocks are kyb's stock not bil's. also the redline has some really nice shocks from the factory they are much firmer and much more compliant than the standar ion ones. i would wait till the tokicos come or the agx's come (soon)
