Dont wait too long, your stock struts will be shot soon enough.

Good Mod but I think it is too boncy. Shocks design for stock springs, not 2" drop race springs. U put to much pressure on shocks with lowering springs, so they blow.

I put 2" neuspeed springs with stock shocks on my acura CL, I was jumping on my seat all the time

Nope. You're wrong for the reasons aRIf said. The stock shocks are not made for the aftermarket dropped race springs.
