Lowering springs with stock struts?

Just wondering what you guys think about it. I would probably go with the eibachs on the stock struts and just rock the stock rims.

Think that the stock struts (with unknown milage anywhere from 20,000-153,000) would be quicker to give out, or think I would be alright?

Not necessarily. The stock struts will not blow quickly. It is based on how extreme the drop is. Eibach's for the 3.2 gives a 1-1.2 drop. That is nothing. A drop of that small magnitude will not wear out stock struts.

The faster stock struts will blow is based on how aggresively low you go.

I went 3 inches with mine....but you must use good springs! ( rather stiff ones) to
be able the keep the car up when it dips.
