lowering springs with stock struts-whats your input?

I dont have enough money to purchase struts right now, seeing as I just bought a Y-pipe, and I am about to purchase springs... Whats your input on the ride comfort of 1.25-1.8 inch drop lowering springs with stock struts?? My plan is to get the springs, and ride with them untill the stock struts go out, cus to me, its a waste just getting rid of them if theyre still good... But I wasnt sure how the ride is going to be... Let me know. thanks!

Dont even bother, you'll waste a lot of money doing the install twice. Just do it right the first time.

I got a 95, and have been on stock struts with dropzones for a long time now. Been fine so far. I get more squeeks in them, but the ride is fine.

Buy them, but don't install them until you have the shocks and struts.

thats what I was thinking... but I just wanted to make sure... I'm thinking about the following springs: H&R springs, Maxspeed springs, and Tokico springs
to pair up with the KYB GR2's... The GR2's look like the best strut for you money, short of adjustables.... Whatcha think?

they are all good choices, and the gr-2 will work great.
