ok, i just got my new sportlines on and their simply amazing. However, Iam worrying that my stock struts are gonna eat it here in a year since i got the aftermarket springs. How long can stock struts last on good springs like Eibach?
Any ideas or expierence would be a big help.

 

Start saving <U>now</U>. I waited around 5-6 months before getting my konis and the ride was pretty bouncy by then.

 

about half a year or max a year if you drive your car everyday.

 

i have had mine on for like 2 years and i am getting ready to put my new KYBs in a month or so, so dont wait any more than 2 years--the stock ones are pissed from autox

 

do new struts affect the drop at all?

 

Depends.

With Koni Yellows, for example, you can alter the drop by about 1/4 of an inch by changes the settings on the shock itself.

 

what are the cheapest decent struts and how much is installation?

 

kyb's are probably the most for your money...4 way adjustable in the front, 8 way adjustable in the rear...instalation is free if you do it yourself...it's really easy, not too much to mess up on...

 

i got about 7 months out of mine with my sprint springs.

 

installation about 50-75-100, depends on place

and alignment is the next step

 

itll last 6 months if u dont lower your car itll last 60k then itll start bouncing
