Needed to know, since nobody bothered to mention it, how much of a drop can the stock struts take? In the picture it surely didn't look as though the front or rears were Bilstein/KYB/Tokico Units, at what drop level will the stockers no longer hold? Also, is it necessary to buy some type of camber/caster adjustment piece, as every Honda/Nissan/Toyota I've ever dropped has required such. I would very much appreciate the info, I know I should just search, but perhaps this information could find its way into a sticky to save people time in the future.

How did it go, you should've been long done by now? If you're stuck post up and I'll PM you my number and walk you trough it.

drifts 14x, i dont really know how much u can compress the stock shocks/struts but many i know that u can drop 1.5" and they be fine even tho shorter aftermarket ones would give a better ride, rule of thumb is that if u drop 1.6" or more u need cc plates, 1"-1.5" u need a camber bolt kit, and less than that u just need to align ur car. u also need an alignment with all these drops.

glad ur install went good, we def want some before and after pics
