I was wandering if it is possible to lower a car by just buying springs at first and using my stock struts. i hope i can and it would only be for like a month or two. and do i have to get the front end aligned after i would change the springs? please help me out here. Thanks Zack.

OK,Do not lower your car on stock struts..And yes you need to get a wheel alignment done after lowering a car.

So just do the job right with a good set of struts..Tokico HP Struts are a great strut that wont break the bank...

Is it possible yes, should you probably not. they will blow very quickly , how quick is dependent on the road conditions around you and how you drive but they will blow out eventually leaving you with a @!#$ty ride and possibly other problems.

The front end for sure has to be aligned, the rear typically does not.

also it would be a good idea to buy front a rear strut mounts.
