I'm not necessarily looking to lower the car. Slightly stiff than stock is ok but budget is important. Going on a 96 with sport suspension.

Found this and seem like a good deal but not sure what how "front strut inserts" work.

Going back and forth on spending ~$500 on upgraded struts and shocks or ~$300 on OEM replacement level.

Any current sales online somewhere I should be aware of before making a purchase.

What do you all with much more experience with this think.

Thanks!
