Lowering springs on stock shocks?

Would a 1.4-1.8" drop be too much on the stock shocks and blow them or will it be fine? If it will have more bounce then before that's fine, I just wanna know if I'm looking at a possible blown shock...

Is there anyway to read RPMs on an EG with a DMM?

I know using a DMM to read RPMs on a car with an external coil is pretty easy but can it also be done with these internal coil cars? Cause I can't figure out how and where to place the leads on my EG.

Re: idle bounce after ignition switch replace...

I heard that after the battery has been disconnected for so long the ECU will have to re-learn "how to idle". Is that true and if it is how long does it take?

Stock 95 EX btw.

Re: If you have a D16Z6, what's your idle speed?

If you have a D16Z6, what's your idle speed?

On a relatively stock D16Z6, I see a lot of threads that talk about the 800rpm range for idling once warm and mine idles at 500rpm. Reason I bring this up is when I have the headlights on after the...
