Sport Sedan- Strut replacement

Looks like the front struts need replacement and would like OEM ride height/quality

Any recommendations? Couldn't find much info on this, my biggest fear is the ride height being way off

The only Sport compatible ones I'm able to find on rockauto are listed for the coupe- will these work?

Honestly the kyb excel (black) are great oem replacements. To me they are about 10% stiffer than stock and a whole lot cheaper. Think you can get them at rockauto.com. I’ve had mine for about 4 yrs now and well worth it

Seems to be the general agreement from the little info i've been able to find

I see you have a coupe listed in your signature
Any idea if they'll fit the sport sedan and be at sport height?

The OEM Sport struts were Tokikos and since that company is defunct, the replacement is those from the base model (or the KYBs). Tein and Koni also make stock fitting units that can be dialed down to stockish response levels.

I do have front koni’s which are adjustable and are very nice, but not worth the extra money. Kyb in the rear perform great and are sufficiently firm but not obnoxious
