You have struts, and there's many different options, what's your budget? Do you want adjustable or non-adjustable?

There's KYB, Koni and Tokico basically. The koni's are an insert for the front so I'd suggest against those unless you feel confident in your abilities to chop up your stock suspension (which given the fact that you asked if you have struts or shocks, imma guess you're just beginning).

I would say your best bet with the Sportlines would be Tokico D-Spec's.

You probably will need to go with some Tokico's for the sportline drop..

D-specs are expensive, You could go with Blues (HP) too as they are just non-adjustable D-specs.

Or you could get some Koni's. Running Sportline's will require more expensive struts usually because of the drop.

GR-2s are stock replacements. They aren't meant for a drop.

Like I said, The struts you will need to get are going to cost you some. Look at the drop rating. If there is none, Then it is a stock replacement most of the time.
