Stock struts will not ride well and will blow out in a short time with any amount of lowering. You should be able to get away with no camber kit with less than 2" of lowering, but that varies from car to car. Tokico Blues are a good inexpensive performance strut.

Oh and I love my lowered car on Stock EX alloys, but I'd still like it more 17" bronze Rota subzeros or 17" Silver Enkei RSV's.

Tein S-tech's say about a 1.5" drop, am I going to have to get struts also or what? That's what I need to know for sure.

I'm part of the 4x4 club and I don't care, because I'm dropping soon. When I got my rims (see sig plz - 18" Enkei RSV), it was a deal I couldn't pass up. So what that I'm not dropped like everyone on this forum, I will be. Not like I enjoy riding high... LOL.

Levi what kind of springs you dropped on? You dropped on stock shocks?

See I really don't think that looks as bad as everyone goes nuts about on here, most people's drops on here have their cars riding on the ground and I go up and down driveways like 4 times a day.

S-techs are springs. Would I have to buy other things (shocks/struts) to drop or is springs all I would need?

For a drop that isnt too serious, you can just put the springs on your stock struts, but anything below about 2 inches, you are gonna have to get new ones or else you will blow them.

Tein S-Tech's say 1.5", would I be safe just getting those? Does anyone have any other recommendations maybe a bit cheaper but no bigger of a drop.
