yeah because these shocks were actually built for performance, not a stunna stance.

 

i have these paired with nuespeed race springs and there grrrreeeaaattt. no problems yet.

 

i personally run nuespeed race springs with rates of 435lbs. F and 330lbs R on my 93 civic coupe. i also have the kyg agx 4 way adjustables and ST front and rear sways. i been on them about a year. they have held just fine. the springs are supposedly a 2.25 drop in the front and 2 inches in the rear, but its nothing close to a stunna stance.

kyb has to have some limit and cut off point to advertised recommended lowering. ive heard of this "no more then 2 inches lowered" for a warranty to work, but my car has done fine. and they can tell if the car was lowered more then 2 inches by taking the shock apart and looking at wear marks/patterns.

my advice to you is match your springs accordingly, so one or the other is not doing too much work, thereby decreasing its capability to do its job. suspension work is a system. plan accordingly. you'll blow anything if its not matched properly.

this is a pic of my car for reference:

 

JaeOne3345 is right. There is a statement on the warrenty card saying that they're not covered for anything below 2".

I only used the eibach pro-kit, so I don't know about them blowing.

 

my coupe is dropped at leat 2 inches and no problems for 2 years now

 

I run mine with sportlines, they've been great for me so far.

 

i got skunk2 race springs on kyb agx's for about 8 months now . . .
about . . . 2 1/2 drop all around
still running strong

 

uh-oh, how many inches do you think this is? whatever the result is mine arent blown yet...

 

whatever your drop is camber correction is your friend!

for? saving your tires? if so, an alignment setting toe to factory specs or even zero all the way around will do more to save tires then a camber kit will.

 

2000 civic KYB AGX, eibach pro-kit, no problems. And yes camber is your friend. camber, caster, toe, aren't these all done with an alignment....
