Would work, but widely regarded as less suitable to such lower drops. Definitely no warranty either.

they will work for a few months before they blow. they wont really support anything past a 1.6" drop. tokico dspecs or koni yellows are the only things you should use when you go that low.

why people dont read the faqs i dont know.

See how to install them here.
Drop a line to Jason at A+ Performance, and he should be able to set you up.

i know hypse sells them and karo sells them and jim at gravana. check out all 3 of them and see who has the best price. also if you dont feel safe hacking up struts and all then i would suggest dspecs

Check on ebay. A couple of my friends said they found them about $100 cheaper.

Change "them" for "theirs" because they currently have them on their car.

^^ Yes... probably cheaper, BUT no warranty help at all should something not so good happen. 99% of the manufacturers do not honor any warranty for any eBay sales.

Which is why I would always support people like Karo and Jason who really help the J-scene out....E-bay's alright for cheap stuff here and there...but struts are a bit more important than a shift knob or carbon fiber tail lights...

Exactly, I buy EVERYTHING on ebay, but my Konis will be purchased from a J-vendor.
