damn my dropzones were set to the lowest setting and they only went down like 1.7"-1.8".

...whatever bud, you will find out the hard way. This guy is hopeless!

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.

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.

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>
