struts for 4 inch drop

[RichardM87]

i just bought Tenzo R racing sport coilovers and I may be doing a 3 to a 4 inch drop and i want to know what struts should i get for it i know it won't be a smooth ride but i do want to get pretty good struts for it so pls help me out.

4" drop is pretty damn low...so you're basically riding on your undercarriage?

I think the best strut for a drop (1-2 inches) are the kyb agx's or the koni yellows. Honestly, no strut will support that low of a drop.

4"? Shit you might as well keep it stock, it'll all lead to the same thing...ripped CV boots, broken axles, messed up UCA balljoints from hitting the shock mounts daily, and you not wanting to drive your car at all. I have coilovers (in front, 2" drop in the rear) and it's prob. dropped ~2" all around tops...anything lower is just a pain in the ass.

muahahahahahahahahaha dropped 4+inches on kyb gr-2 for well over 45000miles. No problems at all whatsoever. rides nice, no blown struts,no cv problems, no axle problems, and as long as u have a small bumpstop in place then u will be allset. o and i live in pothole heaven here so. for 4in drop i would say gr-2 or ags would be fine. or if u have the money spent the 800 bucks to get shortened struts. lol camber is the only thing u need to wry bout with 4in drop. def need to wry bout that.

4.5 inch drop...

i have a 4.5inch drop and the rear is 4'' drop...and i don't even bottom out or even hit hard...my a-arm isn't hitting the top of the strut tower...my car doesn't even bounce...it's really a smooth ride...it feels like stock hieght...im just useing my brand new stock struts with a cut springs...i cut 4 coils off..i use to have 3 coils cut but i went down to 4 in the frnt and 7.5 coils in the back..reason being..is because...1 coil in the frnt = 2 coils cut in the rear..trust me...alot of my co-workers or friends asked me if im running tein or some hi-tech expensive suspention..im just useing stock struts with cut springs..like what i said..i don't hit bottomout scrap...or even bounce..it's so smooth it feels like stock hieght feeling...

coilovers arn't cheap, more expensive then springs by far and u can adjust the coilovers whoo hoooo. and yea i only scrape going over steep declines/inclines. lol i can't even go into my garage. haha. ride is little bouncy. cut springs hmm not liken that at all, dangerous to say the least!

unless you're running on fully-threaded coilovers(apexi, tein, omni) then those coilovers from ebay are CHEAP; i'm sure thats what oneoffaccord is referring to.

I have a 3" drop and it would be great if I lived somewhere other than NW Arkansas!!!!!

true true but ebay stuff is well EBAY....spring rates are gonna be low and gonna vary from each spring. anything off ebay is doing it the CHEAP way. i mean if u r on a budget only go with aesthetic parts. i personally would never in my right mind buy any engine/suspension/drivetrain/tranny parts from ebay. just bc they can not be trusted. i got my skunk2 coilovers for like 290. i think i could have gotten eibach springs for around 150. and by mean fully-threaded do u mean dampers???? bc those are def more expensive (600+)
