Re: just installed dropzone coilovers
damn my dropzones were set to the lowest setting and they only went down like 1.7"-1.8".

Re: just installed dropzone coilovers
protege and zyt, have you ever blown your struts because of having too much of a drop of using them with springs that have been too stiff? OR are you just saying that because you think that will happen? I have tried using stock struts on over a 3 inch drop and it has worked for over 6 months now.

Re: just installed dropzone coilovers
My RS has a 2" drop on OEM struts, been that way for 4 years. Rides like any lowered car would The struts are fine. Probably could use replacing, but they work fine.

Re: just installed dropzone coilovers
protegests and zyt really really know their stuff, yet some people have had a low drop with oem struts for a while.. even years. i guess only time will tell.. and i think it depends on your setup.. maybe the ST springs have a different spring rate than the cheap ebay items. in that case, both barry and protege/zyt would be right. if our dropzone coilover springrates are what'll cause the struts to blow, then that's it.<p>[ March 11, 2003: Message edited by: marshmallow15 ]</p>
