After you lower your car, you are going to need to get an alignment. You will more and likely have to get a kit for your car to adjust the alignment, since you droped it that much. If you dont drive your car alot, and dont put many miles on it, then you really dont have to worry about it. If you put a lot of highway miles on it, i would defiantly get an alignment right away. I went threw a set of front tires in 3 weeks with my alignment off.

I like them better. The adjustability is a little harder, but they are more secure imho.

They are better for handling too imo.

I recently lowered my 95 with skunk2. Like you, I had the need to get new struts. I also recommend getting an alignment as the car will undoubtedly steer itself to one side or the other. Overall, the car handles superbly.
