struts will not lower your car any more, only springs can do that.

Edit: Wait, the koni yellows have a ajustable perches so you can lower it more and if you have a slammed ride they are the best shocks.

not true. a performance strut should lower the car a bit more. shrinking the spring size and not changing the strut geometry and travel would be a less than optimal situation (hence blowing stock struts with sport springs).

when I changed from stock struts to Tokico Blue's it lowered my car an additional inch. Now my car is too low It's OK though. I will soon have TEIN under the car.

So the non-adjustable KYB's will not lower the car anymore?

i actually called KONI and they did say to me that they are a lot lower than stock struts but could not give me an exact measurement...for those with AGX...is there really that much of a difference...?if so i'll consider getting them...i have a 3-4 finger gap between my fender/tire...i want atleast 1-2 inches lower than that...its driving me crazy i even contemplated on cutting my damn skunk2's...but i know it would be hella bouncy...so now im looking for aftermarket struts...adjustable or non..whatever is 1-2 more inches lower than stock...
