Re: New help with droping...

Those springs are too low for any stock or aftermarket shocks, even Koni. Konis tend to blow with low PROGRESSIVE springs.

Read the FAQ.

Why not go with something like Tein or Eibach springs that provide a nice 1.5" drop. Still looks good but you won't have to worry about sitting so low that you'll be scrapping on every damn thing. Plus, it will be easier to find shocks...
