if you do something, do it right man.


you KNOW you'll need a camber kit eventually, just wait till you have one.

Wait until you buy the proper aftermarket shocks.

If you install the springs now, within a few months the OEM shocks will fail.

When that happens... not only will you pay for the labor to install a new set of shocks, you'll also have to pay for another 4-wheel alignment.

Do it once, do it right.

BS on the struts going bad. Like i say about most of the comments i read on this forum, people on here post what they think is going to happen, not what actually will happen. Everyone that tells you that your struts will fail have never tried lowering a car withour buying aftermarket struts. And their advice is just totally sceptical BS that they pass around as truth. Your shocks will not fail no matter what size your springs are unless they are bad shocks in the first place. I have a 00' accord with a 2" drop with 143,000 miles on it with no aftermarket shocks. Now, im not sure how long my car was dropped, but i bought it that was with 80,000 miles on it and nothing has 'failed' or anything since, and i put over 60,000 miles on it. So before you go out and buy a buncha shit that you may or may not need, talk to a professional, or just throw those springs on because NOTHING WILL HAPPEN.
