Default do i need new struts?

im thinking about buying tein s tech springs. they are in the new super street and they say they run good on stock struts. I was just wondering do i need to buy aftermarket struts or can i use my stock ones for a while.also how are these springs and how much of a drop are they. im looking to get around 1.75 inchs or so, and do you think that would be ok on stock struts?

You should be fine using your stock struts. But I'd invest in a new set soon after. If you could, it's best if you get them both simultaneously. You save on installation costs (unless you do it yourself).

Totally agree :thumbup:

Ssince the springs are harder, you will need new higher performance shocks/struts...sooner or later.

explain.


you will be ok if they are installed correctly. for a bit.
you should just get some new struts ie, kyb grb's, and change them out and save you some time.

ok, ive been in a few cars where people just stuck springs on...and the ride sucked ass! especially if u have an older car...even mine, 97, the stocks are going to be worn out! my ride right now is bouncy w/ no suspension mods at all...if u want to do it the right way , get the whole set up, including camber kits...that way u dont have to do it in a few months! just easier that way! :thumbup:
