idea for droped shocks..

when ppl drop there car with coil over sleeves.. or juss drop springs.. there bound to blow there struts.. is there a way to take out sum pressure from the strut so it can stand that amount of pressure without blowing? also.. how much pressure should be released?

you would want to add pressure if anything to the shocks so they are stiffer and can handle the springs better. but i dont think there is any way at all you can do that.

yup... softer shocks would mean more bouncing around and more bouncing around = looking like a ricer...

also you have a greater chance of bottoming out (spring compressing all the way or shock compressing all the way causing a loud "bang" noise and lots of wear to springs or shocks)...

generally, stiffer = better...
