Post by ruthless_mx3 »

I have 93 gs se and am looking to buy zx2 struts. Will the stock springs work with these struts or do I have to buy different ones?

they will work fine. Your car will be lowered approx .5" using these struts and ride slightly firmer (about 10%).

You're on crack if you want that much of a lowering. You cannot go that low. There isn't enough front compression travel.
