Re: lower springs on stock shocks/struts?

shocks don't affect how the stance is...they affect how the ride is.

and the stock shocks/struts are BARELY adequate for stock springs...on lowering spings they will downright SUCK.

do yourself a favor and change them

well i was lookin at the ones from hotpart.com. but not sure how good they are so i might just go eibach. I cant go any lower then 1.5 or i wont be able to make it up my driveway without scraping my headers/y-pipe.

The Vogtlands?
You'll want either revalved Bilsteins or Konis. IIRC they say Tokico's will do well with them, but I have B+G's that have similar rates and Tokico's are inadequate.
