i am getting a parts car with 1.8 inch lowering spring on it, and i want to put them on. will it be easier to swap the entire struts rather than change the springs?

Well you have to remove the struts to swap the springs so I'm going with entire strut is gonna be easier. One less step.

does it already have performance struts ? also what springs? if you answer no the first one. then my answer to that is. dont do it. if you answered " i dont know i think ebay" to the second one then id say throw it away .

You could always weld on some handles and foot pegs and use it as a pogo stick.

they are dr sport 1.8 inch lowering springs, stock struts iirc. just dont bother?

If they are stock don't even bother. You need shocks meant for lowering or you will be asking for problems shortly down the road i.e. blown struts, casing an accident/wrecking your car. Take the springs and get some good shocks then put them on.

for 1.8 inches, the options are tokico blues or d-specs, or koni yellows.
