I have had these Dropzone lowering springs for about 2 years and now am ready to install them. I just wanted to know what struts I should get if it will be a 2 inch drop. I'm looking for something on the cheap side because I only plan on having this car for another year.

If you're going to sell the car in a year, leave it stock. You'll get a higher price with a wider audience of buyers. You can always throw the springs in for extra (if the buyer's interested) or sell them on ebay.

I would do this but the stock ones are worn and I don't think they will even pass inspection.

I would normally recommend and adjustable strut for a 2" drop, but since you're going to sell it, you could try Tokiko blues or KYBs.

These are cheap and say they will work with lowering springs. Anyone know if these are any good?

That price scares me. Don't forget you'll probably want new strut mounts if you are in there anyway.

I ordered them, i'll let everyone know how they are. Good call on the strut mounts.
