why is it that when your car is lowered...
How come if i want to lower my car i have to invest in aftermnarket struts too? I was just wondering the science of it. Are the stock struts cheap or something? I'm assuming the camber can be adjusted as much as it needs to be at a local shop?!?! And also, don't those shops carry camber adjusting items? Why do they sell camber kits in catalogs? Still wishing to lower my car. Is 2" with stock rims too much?
THANKS

well....
well i realize that. i guess i just stated my post poorly. how do i know what kind of struts are the right struts for my application? really the only reason i want my car lowered anyway in because it looks like a 4x4 as high as it is stock. I just wish it was lower than stock. what can i possibly do to lower it without having to replace everything and spend close to a $$$grand$$$?
thanks again

I'm looking for street performance and I also want to be able to push it every now and then. The drop is about 1.5" in the front and 1" in the back. It may actually be more by now because the springs have settled. The only problem is that since I have coilovers I might do some adjusting and I need a shock that could handle that. Thanks.

actually i haven't seen any spec data on these popular lowering springs (eibach, h&r, ground control, progress, etc.)
