im just guesstimating, i doubt im exacty 2in bro

my shocks are super old

again... your springs do the height adjustment on your car, the struts support the springs and determine the softness of your ride due to the travel when going over bumps.

you were justifying your ride height and your ability to not gauge how low you truly are due to your old struts, not giving a reason why you "cant" go lower...

did you not read what i wrote. look Im not trying to start anything with you but you were trying to blame that you could not tell how low you were because you believed your old struts affected the height. ( at least it appears this way to someone reading your statement, regardless of what you may have intended)

I at least commend you on getting legit struts, I have them and they are very soft.

oh lol no thats not what im saying.

look, the lower you go the more stress you are going to put on your OEM struts epecially if they are already used. that is why im not going over 2ins.

once i get performance stuts ima slam the shiz out of my ride and get a camber kit.

when you plan to slam are you getting coilover sleeves? cuz springs and struts are not adjustable, coilover sleeves are adjustable, but even then Tokico hp's cant handle much more than 2.5, so you would need adjustable struts (koni yellows, or tokico illuminas) but basically with sleeves and adjustable struts, you have coilovers... in fact ff type 1 would be cheaper than the strut/sleeve combo



edit: saw that you have sleeves already.
