........I am going to have my max lowered. I am going with the Eibach and OEM(new) set-up. It is going down around 10 and I plan on taking my time and pics as I go. I am crazy excited.

The struts shouldn't affect your ride height. Just the springs. And yes, be careful driving on speed bumps... It will help your struts to last longer. Also, you could bend a rim(s). (been there, done that)

your struts may wear faster...may i ask why you aren't upgrading those as well?

i really want to lower my car, but i just want to get springs and not change the struts. I had to get the struts changed early on when i got the car cus they were shot, this was back b4 i knew i was going to doing all this work to it. Anyways if just throw on some springs and leave the KYB struts that my mechanic put it how much will my ride suck lol ?

Geez, I bet those new OEM shocks cost more than new Tokicos or Konis!

Tis complete. I will post pictures this evening or tomorrow. We ran in to some problems with the rear but after 4 hours it is complete and I am pleased with the results.

I got the oem struts from a guy at the dealer(hehehehe..for...).

I like the ride, and so far no problem with speed bumps.

Pics coming soon. Thanks for everyones' help on this board, I will be strarting finals and then spring break, I hope to have my sound system complete, but thanks again for everyone's help
