im lowering this week. 95 ls either goin with tein springs or neuspeed.ive heard lota stories about stock struts geting blown after a few days.just wanted to know how true it is.

 

i rode on mine for about 8 months
still will probably this year for a bit too until i can save up for illuminas (just made 2 tire purchases, a little behind)

yes the ride is rough right now, but it works.. and they aren't totally blown just yet

 

Im running Eibach prokit on Stock shocks and haven't had any problemson my DC4. I know if you go lower spring >2" you will limit the struts rebound travel and this may cause premature failure.

 

i rode on tomm motorsport coilovers and stock shocks lowerd 3inches for about 3 years. suprizingly, it diden't ride horrible, but after when i changed my whole suspension, those stock shocks were uber fucked! now i have coilovers and koni yellows and the ride and handeling is 100x better. if you lower on stock shocks, you get the look that you want, but don't expect performance

 

neuspeed race springs on stock shocks, for almost 2 years i think....shocks blew long long time ago, i think even before when i was still riding the h&r sports...but they wont blow after a few days...it all depends on the way you drive...

see i kill my car (its meant to be driven!!!) so any bump on the road thats in my way, it better move out the way or im gonna hit it hard!! lol...just take it easy, slow down on railroad tracks, avoid all the potholes, and your good to go!

 

Agree with the other guys. I had Progress Techonolgy Springs on my Celica with stock struts and it was fine for well over a year. The lower you go, the sooner they will blow.

I also would advise against gas shocks (Tokico). I hear they aren't as durable as oil and it is difficult to tell when they are blown (since it's gas, you cant see a leak).

 

i got goldlines and tockioes blues sick ride.

 

i got tein shocks and the ride sucks bumpy as hell just get the entire thing unless your only going for look my drop is 2 front and 1.75 back
