I have found that for our car, there are a very limited few types of struts available. It looks like the Tokico Illumina adjustable would be the best, but the KYB GR-2 has a lifetime warranty. After using either, pros-cons, to these 2 and any others (ie. Bilstien?)that you would recommend over them? Thank you in advance.
 
both the blues and the illuminas have a lifetime warranty too, as long you don't lower the car more than 1.5". you can't go wrong with tokico, pretty much everyone on this board has them.
 
Kill Your Butt, I mean KYB are a bit stiffer than stock but won't last long at all with lower springs. They are the OEM replacement for many vehicles. With factory springs they are fine and you will get a good life out of them.
 
If you are lowered at all (sounds like you are if you are rubbing), I would go with either of the Tokico's. I have the Illuminas and the adjustability is nice, even if you don't plan on taking your car to the track.
 
+1 for the Illumina's....
I love them esp. when the autox season rolls around.
