    lowering springs with stock struts?

    I'm gonna drop my es with intrax springs and I need to know if it's necassary to buy kyb gr2's or can I just use my stock struts?

    Unless you think your shocks are in really good shape, then probably not. Because when you install lowering spring, the shock travel is no longer the same, and that might cause premature failure of your original shocks.
    I lowered my DX with H&R and I installed new KYBs all around. I had to, becaues one of my fronts was busted.

      i would do struts too, if your struts dont go, your upper strut bushings will and itll sqeak and pop.

        the stock struts cannot dampen the aftermarket springs well enough. The car will bounce, even before the oem struts are blown. They just can't handle the extra force.
