this has been covered many times.
coilover sleves will KILL oem struts.
if your gonna go cheep on coilovers, get some nice tokico blues or something to compliment them.
oh thanks
cause i got new sleeves from my friend so like yeah i was trying to swap the sleeves and the stock springs and keep the stock springs
i am not sure but they look pretty good
I have had No Name sleeves on my stock struts going on 5yrs now maybe 6... I have no issues... I want to get a new suspension and when I do I will do it with a nice set up such as mentioned above... That is just me... It's like everything, some times it works great some times it doesn't....
so u think i should just go sleeves and stock shocks
it hasnt ruin anything in ur car at all right? cause i am planning to get it the front as close to the tire in the front just enough to clear it and the back just one finger i am not planning to slam it
u think that the sleeve and stock shocks will be good for at least a year or more without ruining anyhing?

yeah that is what i want to do just drop it to cover the gap that is it
As long as you install them properly you will be fine.... get an Alignment and your good to go... I have installed drop springs on a ton of cars on stock shocks and they are fine, they are usually about 1.5-2.00 drop which is what you basically described... The only issue I ever had was one of the sleeves is cracked... so I am in need of a new set up but the car is awaiting the motor this yr! And the cracked sleeve has nothing to do with Stock shocks....
Yeah don't go cheap, just buy coilovers which are also cheap...
orrrrr save your money and buy something worthwhile.
if i drive slow over bumps and dips then how long would it last? is ur car bouncey or stiff
You have to drive slow no matter what.. Its not a truck.... My car is not bouncy at all nor is it stiff... But my springs I don't even remember what they are... But as far as time, like i said if your not slamming it, I personally think it will be just fine....
aight cool cause i am practicing with my car for now
