Okay, we realize that stock struts = bad, but that's not the question, so he doesn't need everyone telling him that.
What he wants to know is howcome its gotten lower since it was put on? Is it the blown shocks (which I tend to sway away from, simply because I can't see how it would affect ride height), or is it something else, ie. mounts?
Motor mounts if bad will cause a rough idle, and other issues. Motor mounts take away engine movement when it trys to rock and sway, if they are bad it will absord the engine movement into the frame, hence the rough idle
So unless you have a bad idle I doubt its your mounts.
