Struts for my '02 Civic EX!

My driver side, front strut is bad I think. It sits a bit lower than the other side. Problem is...I bought my car already lowered. So how do I know what to buy? Thanks for your help.

Depends on what springs they are and how low the springs are lowering.

We would recommend tokico blues or koni str. The best struts you'll be able to buy are koni yellows

I did take the wheel off but I don't know what I'm looking for. Do I have to take the strut out to tell if its bad? And I guess my real problem is that if I have to replace them I need it to match the rear.

If it happens to be the struts, I will second the Tokico Blues. I've ridden on them with a 1.5 inch drop and they have outperformed stock struts significantly. They won't break the bank, either!
