on stock struts, on my 1997 SE?

well...monroe sensa-tracs on front, OE on rear.

i've been told don't drop any further than 1.5" but i haven't read it in the stickies.

i'm thinking 1.5 in the front (if that's the furthest i can go)
and 1.0 - 1.3 in the rear (my front sits higher lol)

also, what brands offer this little of a drop?

EDIT: I just saw this in GD...

#6334.140 - 95-99 (1.5in Front, 1.3in Rear) – Retail Price - $369.00 – Your Price - $244 Shipped

will these work on stock suspension? ~1.5 inches worth doing?

i saw some 1.75, 1.6, etc... are those going to blow my struts?

Search man, this has been covered so many times.

Dropping on stock style struts normally does not last long at all.

guess that answers my question.

one vote for lowering springs on stock struts
six votes for lowering springs on anything but.

mods can lock.

never do a crazy drop on stock struts, invest some money and get aftermarket struts or just do coil overs

fresh207

I bought kyb gr-2 struts from someone and the front ones were blown so i put the stock one on the front

okay...

one [newbie] vote for stock struts,
eight votes for AM struts.

i think i'll check out that GD on struts now lol

i would ask which ones are best, but this thread would be supered lol

i just want the comfort of OE, but dropped for aesthetics. improved/tighter handling would be a plus

S techs will give you a good drop but I would not look into them unless you do not care about handling. Some people would rather have a aggressive stance then good handling. if you do go S tech route, up grade your struts because more then likely you will blow your stock struts.

idk man, im dropped on Intrax springs, with one coil cut in the front, on stock struts. Ive had this setup for over 2 years, still havent blown my struts. maybe im a lucky one...

but yes, the general consensus is that ur struts will blow shortly.
