Well since I put them on 2 weeks ago I left it lowered for about a week..then I raised
it up 3 inches and put my studs on. I'm pretty sure my 2 fronts are blown...For
christmas my parents said they would spring for the KYB AGX's...But I don't want to
blow those...How low could I run?My next alternative is get some se-r struts and
possibly get the piston cut and re-threaded for what I want my car lowered to..if this
is even possible? My next question is since the springs with the co's have a much
stiffer spring rate up front and the rears are sloppy..if I got an extra set would the
stiffer springs work ok in back also..(they will fit)..In other words will it change
the geometry of the car for the better or worse?
