Shocks & Struts for lowered car
My car is riding on Tein S-Techs, 2.5 F drop, 2.3 R drop. Spring rate 537# front and 270# rear. I was going get bilstein HD Shocks and struts but they are insanely expensive. Is there any other shock/strut combo that will hold up to this drop and spring rates?

With a drop like that, you are lookin into bilstein HD's and koni yellows... That's a severe drop!
You can pick up some bilstein struts from an 03/04 cobra coupe to use up front and then buy rear SRA bilstein HD shocks for out back for like $100 a pop... That's a decent deal

To be honest, ive only bottom'ed out on a speedbump and a big *** pothole in a arby's drivethrough so far. Why so low? Because i live the low life...duh..Nah it just looks sick, when i put my 18's on, ill have literally no wheelgap at all and they should sit perfectly flush with spacers. 315's on a slammed car = :thumbsup:
On a side note, can i run bilstein shocks in the rear with stockers in the front for now? the struts are 200$ a piece....
