my bad header , the shock wouldn't lift the car back up after hitting dips. The car would sit at an angle and oil was coming out of the shock.

wow that sounds like a pretty serious suspension issue...why would your shocks sit on a aggressive angle like that?? yea when you lower your car you get a little shock/strut strain but not that much ...thats cazy

You'll be better off stock then hella dumping dat crx on dope *** d2s.

Now if you used a term that won't make you look like one of the people I was mocking above then I might have agreed with you.

Then again what do I know, I've spent over 1k in shocks alone.

Also really ride height doesn't matter as much as the quality of components used.
