Stock struts and coilovers

Post by Redlined »

I want to lower my car with the stock struts until I can afford to buy new ones. Im running on a budget now and I know this is not gonna be a comfy ride or anything but I dont wanan look like a monster truck with 17s and about a 40 inch wheel gap ahhaha. Can I actually use the escort coilovers because they are cheaper to buy! I asked and was told yet then read other posts and heard they dont drop in the rear and other stuff so what is the real deal anyone know>?>

You'll kill the struts a lot faster, if u put a drop on them.
