As with any spring on stock struts over time you will get a little bump in your ride, but other then that i love the aggressive stance they have once theve settled in

struts...cheaper alternative?

whats the worst that could happen if you run lowering springs(i was thinking sprint or h&r) on stock struts for a long time?(like 3 or 4 monthes)
also, could i run an oem-type replacement strut like monroe or something instead of koni, tokico or kyb?
eventually i'm going to get GR-2 or AGX but i need something that'll last the rest of the summer and through the winter. or maybe halfway through the winter..

Sprint Springs

I am going to order these springs to but I have 17 inch rims with 215 45 17 tires. Is this going to be a problemwith the tire rubbing in the fender well? Also can the camer be corrected without buuying the correction kits?
Thanks

if i did my addition correctly, nopi has them for $210 for all 4..but thats w\o shipping. i'm going to my local parts shop today, tomorrow or wednesday to see if he can beat that, then i gotta see if i can get sprints for $100 from him. that'd be great if i got everything for $300.

To tell you the truth.......

I'm not really sure, BUT I see guys riding around with all types of springs on the STOCK struts, so a new set of KYB's have to be worth something! but I've heard that KYB and Toks are rather equal(this is what I've heard, not quoted though), but I'm not 100% sure, I just went with the KYBs since they were much cheaper and I desperately need some new shocks ASAP!
