you dont have to compress lowering springs. they are shorter than stock. in other words theyre not as long, so why would there be a need to compress them? btw it doesnt matter what kind of shock you have, you still wont have to compress them on.

G/C makes adapters that take the place of the upper spring perch's and give the struts 2 inches more room to travel, we run them on our racing Integras and have not had any problems with blowing out struts. Any strut will fail if it bottoms out to many times.
