those with eibach's and low profile 35 series tires
 
how long have u had that set up for and how are your oem stuts holding up ?

I wanna just get eibach's but I'm concerned about the impact it will have on thee struts, last time I used lowering springs and low profile 35 series tires, my oem struts started squeaking in a few months.

the eibach drop is only one inch i dont that will have any ill effects on the struts but i guess i will find out

anyone else ? I understand it's only 1 inch but sometimes 1 inch is all it takes to damage the strut when your wheels take a big hit.

Had the pro-kit on my last car and after about 15k miles it got very rough and bouncy. That was with 45 series tires too!

If your roads are bad like mine here in NE Ohio then it will be a bumpy ride. New struts/shocks should be installed at the same time as the springs. Ones that are properly valved for the lowered ride.

you dont need to worry about shocks they will hold up fine but shocks should be replaced every 100,000 miles anyway you need to worry more about your axle and lower control arms then the shocks....especially if you live in nyc
