I have had my car lowered for a year with h&r 1.5/1.75 drop,about a month ago my strut started to go bad, and finally just died...so i put tokico struts on....the difference is unbelievable....anyone who is lowering your car...i suggest u savethe extra 300 up and get struts done to...so u dont have to pay twice when your stocks go bad from being lowered...
