question about lowering
 
Hey, I have a set of Tein lowering springs. Not a major drop - 1.8 in the front and 1.5 in the back and I was wondering can stock integra struts handle the drop? Even if they are fairly new with about 30k on them?

i would say ya you should be fine.

You'll be fine for a while since your struts are kinda sorta fairly new, but keep in mind that stock struts were not MEANT to be used with lowering springs. There is no getting around the fact that your struts won't last as long with lowering springs on compared to stock springs. Period.
That's why even though its not required to change the struts to performance struts that ARE meant to be used with lowering springs, its definitely recommended.

With a drop like that, your stock ones should be fine. I use to run a 2.5" drop on stock springs in my old civic, and i drove like that for 2 years with out any problems.
