Same amount that you'd spend on one that does. Meaning, any coilover can blow or not blow, it depends on how good you are at following directions and using common sense.

 

Look into koni yellow, they will handle 1.8" without a problem. They go for around 500 though.

Most OEM replacement struts/shocks are not designed to be installed on cars that are dropped that much- probably more than an inch or so. There are people that run them like that and may or may not have problems- it depends on how you drive the car and the roads you run.

If you must run that low, you can have Koni shorten the shocks to retain some suspension travel before the shock/strut bottoms out and blows.

 

will KYB AGX handle up to about 2in drop?

It says what they'll cover...this is the main reason I'm going w/ Koni as opposed to other companies.

This is one of the main reasons I am going to buy Koni's. Most other companies have similar warranties to KYB
