How to lower
I'm looking to lower my car 2 inches. I can find lowering springs on ebay that will do this but I don't want to buy new struts. Can I just use stock?

Re: How to lower
Yeah, if you want to replace the struts within the next year. Going that low WILL cause them to fail, not immediately, but eventually.

Re: How to lower
It will probably be a bouncy ride. I put Eibach Sportlines on with stock struts for a couple of monthes until I got struts and the *** end bounced really bad. It might be worse the lower you are I don't know.

Play nice ladies. If he's asking for eBay springs give him eBay springs.
