i just got new Intrax springs, lowering 1.5". I know i need new shox/struts, but do you think I'd be ok if rolled around on my stock ones until i could afford some?

 

yup there should b no problem at all

 

thanks bro...i didnt think there'd be a problem, but i just wanted to make sure

 

yea, all my friends, including me are dropped with stock shocks and those guys have been lasting for 60k miles and more. It will be fine, esp with a mild drop like 1.5 inches.:thumbup:

 

You will have almost a 50-50 split of opinions on this one. I was going to drop mine (decided on the sound system next instead) and I planned on stock shocks for awhile. Most people said it would be okay, others had stories of blown shocks after a few days. I don't know. If you're gonna drop it either way, maybe you should start on stock and if there's a problem, then go to perfomance. :dunno:

 

yeah...i've had some people tell me i needed new shox...but they all seemed to be the auto stores, so i was just thinking that they wanted more of my money, and other ppl said that i didnt need them...so i wasnt too sure

 

It's not gonna hurt anything besides your ride quality, but if you are going for handling and not just "the look" I'd definately think about swapping them out for some performance struts eventually. I personally would never drop a car on stock struts, kinda seems like a half arse job to me, but it shouldn't hurt anything til you can afford some nice struts.

 

Would you guys help some peeps out and write up a review on those springs?
