then yes your shit is blown, stock shocks cant handle shit for a drop...and those kyb's you are looking at wont hold up much better...if you want that much of a drop I would look at a MINIMUM of kyb AGX's but better would be tokico illuminas or koni yellows.....also from the PM you sent me, it would be great if you could get us some pics to help you further

Did you cut your bumpstops when you installed the springs? If not, make sure you cut them when you replace your shocks.

I am happy with my Tokico Illuminas.

There isnt a specific size, you need to find the ones that are right for your model and year. (Ex: 88-91, 92-95, 96-00, (01-02 i believe) )
