    Hey,

    Im new to the forum and I think this is the right place to start this thread.

    I have been looking for lowering springs for awhile and would like to know of some good brands.Ive been wanting to order the springs that k2motors has which lowers it 2.4 in the front and 2.0 in the back.But Ive heard that if it gets lowered by more then 2 inches you have to get new struts as well.Does anyone know if this is true? Thanks

    Yes, the stock struts don't have the travel to support a drop lower than 2". You can do it, but they will soon wear out. Unless you are really wanting to slam it, I suggest to not lower it more than 2". Never dealt with that company you stated, but most people run either Eibach, Tein, or Hotchkis. There are other brands out there of equal quality but these 3 seem to be the most popular. Read the sticky in this section for more info.
