You can't drop your car on the stock struts - they will blow pretty quickly. The car will be lower (amounts stated on the ebay link). Whether that looks better or not is your call.

Personally, i would NOT drive with the stock struts, just save some more and wait. I waited, and it was worth it! I just installed those, with illuminas. Plus, saves you having to install twice, just go all out in 1 go.

They will blow, sooner or later, they will.

Are you supposed to get a specific type of strut depending on the degree of the drop?

some struts can handle bigger drops than others. the s-techs are pretty much the biggest drop for the Max without some custom work and if you used tokico's, you should go Illumina's rather than HP's.

Ive got those, they are nice but Im not too sure the lowering numbers are correct, unless they still need to settle, but it is much better than it was with the stock, my 17's actually look like 17's!
