ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

        Certain struts are made to withstand certain spring rates. Just because it fits the car doesn't mean it's right. It seems to me that the OP has a better idea of this than anyone helping him at the moment.

        Chances are, the ones you found are Tokico HP (blues), right? They're good for a spring that's about 15&#37; stiffer than stock. If the springs are plain and black, they may be OEM. Aftermarket springs are usually colored. Some are black, but the common ones are often red, yellow, green, blue, etc... Most lowering springs have a spring rate higher than 15% over stock. The only ones that will work properly with those almost stock-replacement shocks (if my assumption is correct) would be springs that are close to stock themselves. Usually .5" drop or less.

          yes, i did pick up the Tokico Hp (blues) and i went to see if i saw any markings on the springs and i found out that they are some eibach springs... so i called the eibach company and gave them the part # and it costs over $200 for the springs alone... yay! i GOT A DEAL! anyhow, is this a good pair for a good not so rough ride? does anyone have pics with this setup or similar? i just wanna see how my car will stance out...

            Shit, if thats the case then u might as well slang them and pick urself up a set of different struts cuz if u tryin to drop it then half an inch or less ain't shit. Might as well keep the shit stock. Unless half an inch is coo with u.
