Lowering

I was just wondering if i get lowering springs like neuspeed or eibach or something will just that be okay to lower my ride??? I have heard lowering springs without new shocks will wear down your exsisting struts??? Or will I be okay??? Thanks guys.

It'll be ok, but if you don't get new struts it will be a very bouncy ride till you do.

up to 1.5 inches your stock shocks will last a long time......1.5 to 2.0 inches, your shocks will last about 20-40k (there are a million variables, this is just from what i've experienced and seen), under 2.0 inches, shocks will blow very quick, i recomend doing the shocks at the same time as the drop if you go under 2.0 inches....hope this helps.....
