I sure as hell hope so... I just bought them along with the Eibach sportline springs! lol

Everyone who has themseem to bebeen pretty positive about them with lowering springs.

Yeah the Tokico HP Blues can handle up to (on average) 2.0"-2.2" before you risking longevity of the strut...

Similar question, what kind of drop can the stock struts handle if any at all? I'd like the Pro line(1.5" drop) for my car but don't know if I can afford struts AND springs at the same time.

ive got a two inch drop on my stock struts. my car is an 05 and ive had my drop installed for about 2 months. no probs yet. my motorsport dealer told me that it depends on how old your struts already are and how bumpy the roads are where you drive. if the roads are not too bumpy, newer stock struts like mine should last about a year or so.

I've got almost 40K miles on the car, I'd say it's probably time for new struts anyway, at least by 50K miles. It'd probably just be a safe bet to change out the struts and springs at the same time to save labor since I'd like to do it myself that way I'm only into doing it once.
