Just make sure you buy a good name brand struts.

Tockiko is a good brand but dont go with the blues because they are not much better that stock.

Koni, kyb, tockiko all good brands to look into

Struts?? What car do you have??

Why the hell do you want the coils all the way down..Thats rediculous..You go and buy some other shocks and you'll blow them again..You might be able to get away with some re-valved konis..But how long will the last?..

Or you can raise the shock when it comes in the engine bay so the car will look low but the suspension wont be..And you'll have alot of travel so you can get a decent ride and not blow them up..

You might as well not bother if you're going to ride around dumped like a stunna.

Get airbags instead.

Right on. It is pointless to ride around on coilovers that are all the way down.

1. It will ride terrible
2. You will hit every piece of road debris
3. You will scrape on every little incline
4. You will blow out your shocks/struts in no time no matter which ones you are using
5. Like Targa250r said get an air ride system if you want to be that low.
