obviously lowering springs are harsher on struts than stock springs, but Tokico blues are one of the better struts to handle it

i went with the megans racins springs 2" drop and had to replace my passenger control arm and driver side (top Hat) top strut bushing, i mean its def worth it for me my car handles way better than it did before, but just know you should get it aligned after installation It could be perfectly fine then again your prolly gonna wanna add an chamber kit, but id do it put up picks of how it is now.

Food for thought, Measure from the center of ur hub cap to the beginning of the front fender, and subtract it from the height diff of the springs you have know and want to install...

No strut will handle a drop over 1.5 inches.
Will they "blow", who knows.
Will it ride right, absolutely not.

I'm sure a aftermarket shock strut would handle it better than a stock one
