Well it all depends on what is needed to do the job. See i wasnt blessed with parents who are into cars..... So the only tools my parents have around the house is maybe a wrench and a screwdriver... I mean hell i have to take my car to my buddies house so that i can jack it up and do an oil change..... So it is inevitable that if i dont get shocks/struts that within a month or so i will have to buy some?

Hm how it works around here ...with me and my gf... I think ima just get the drop and rims then build up some more cash then hopefully months later ill get the shocks/struts. I would think they will hold up with only a 1" drop, at least for a while.

Haha i wish i could be like that... I mean i have a good amount of cash saved up but i understand that there are more important things in life... Like college and marrying my girl of 4 years... Heh. But just asking one more time. If im just driving down the road and my shocks/struts just go out its not going to damage anything? Ill just know its time to get them fixed?
