I dunno, everyone seems to like bilstein struts but those + the springs will cost not much less than coilovers. I've heard of stock struts not lasting much time at all with a 2" drop on them. but some others say differently..

that's a good diy for removing the struts. it's easy. skip steps 2 and 3...

Just be careful Phil. Do it right or do it twice. Having a good looking and well running car does not lend itself easily to hasty decisions or easy, cheap solutions. Otherwise we'd all cut our springs, make body kits from cardboard and spray paint our fogs yellow.
