2 Inch Drop

I recently bought max speed lowering springs for my 96 LS. Will i be ok riding on the stock struts or would the ride suck? Please tell me what you think or what you know from experience. Thanks.

its going to be really bumpy, since the struts arent going to travel the full length. The struts also wouldnt last too long.

More bouncy and bottoms out easier... then they blow and you bounce all over the place...

I recommend a new set of shocks, but it isnt "required"

agreed, the problem is the stock shocks are prolly older and are a LONGER throw than aftermarket shocks. when you compress the shock down with the lowering springs you'll find that you'll ride harder (since there's less throw) and you'll bottom out more.

get shocks they're cheap
