im getting a pair of rear skunk2 lowering springs....but i herd that if you put lowering springs on stock shocks ur shocks are gonna get messed up real quick and the ride is gonna b really bad....and another thing i herd is that with sock shocks tha lowering springs are gonna give u less of a drop...these springs r supposed to give me like 1" to 2" drop i think but this kid said the most im goin to get is 1 or 1.25 the most....is any of this stuff true or is it false?? help!!!

 

anyone?

 

u wont get less of a drop. your stock shocks will eventually blow and the ride will suck ballz, that is if they are not blown already.

 

also if u put lowering springs on your stock shocks your tires will rub on your wheel wells and tear them apart.

WTF

 

well thats what happened to me

i bought a 2000 si lowered on springs and the wheel wells were torn up.

guess thats only me? i donno know any reason why it would do that?

 

^^^^^Large wheels with too wide of tires

 

the car has stock rims.

i think the spring rates are all screw'd up causing the shock not to dampon enough when the spring compresses, because that would cause rubbing

could be wrong, but thats my guess
