Very Idiotic question.... Hello everyone,
I'm thinking of lowering my car. I got a lowering spring and a front and rear camber kit ready to go... I was about to install them, but I heard lowring the car damages the OEM Struts... Does that mean the struts will break and will need to be replaced later on? I wanna lower the car and I don't have enough money for Tein SS.
So, is lowering the car with just the springs and camber kit bad?

Rep Power: 307 They will wear-out prematurely due to being compressed more than they're designed for on a constant basis. Eventually, they will begin to leak fluid under the increased demand on them, essentially blowing. . . just not catastrophically.

how much do OEM shocks, or what ever that is needed to be replaced when it blows up, go around?

OEM struts will probably be less than that but, they will probably blow again. ask grey, he has swapped his out 2 times already!

If you want a new set of aftermarket shocks, Koni is your only choice right now.
