What struts would you recommend for a 4" drop?

i agree...on both of your opinions...a 4inch drop is really going to be stress full on your shocks...i'd recommend getting konis...at least they'll last a little long than the agx's...

Neuspeed edition Koni Yellows, set on the bottom perch setting. Then some ground control coilovers screwed all the way down .....

But you'll run out of shock travel.

Im a senior in highschool.. dont think I can afford airbags. Just looking for some struts that can handle a 4" drop.

So far Ive heard Koni Yellows, Skunk 2, and AGX

Any other suggestions?

Thanks Again

there are no shocks that can handle a 4" drop. period. custom coilovers will do an admirable job, but you really are too low. going under 5" at the jackpoints will kill the car, and really sacrifice handling.

i am going to lock this, because what you are asking is not a possibility.
