Stupid Question but need answer

[Silent Drifter]

Dont flame im jus tired an dont feel like searchin sorry, normally i do. But If I get Sportlines for my S13 will it really matter if I leave my stock shocks? I mean eventually Ill probally get Tokicos or KYB's but I can afford the springs now an I really want the car lowered I feel like Im drivin a monster truck . Thanks

You'll probably, ehhh, will blow out the stock shocks fairly soon. Their not made to handle that kind of drop.

[Silent Drifter]

So how long you think they last if I dont put alot of stress on them?

[APEXi240]

No one can really tell, it depends how many miles they have on them, the type of driving you do, the roads you drive on, where you drive ect.

I'm just shooting in the dark, but maybe two months if they are fairly old, and you drive fairly hard.

alright ill easily have enof for shocks when my stock ones blow within 2 months or so. Looks like im gettin some sportlines!!

[Grant@tirerack]

Not to tell ya what to do, but if it were me and it was only a couple of months till I could scrape up the extra cash for the struts... I'd wait and to it all at once. Unless you really like to do suspension work for relaxation, why go through the pain of having to do it twice? That's just me 'Mr. I hate suspension work' talkin tho...:pface

im just too lazt to do things twice period. DO it once, do it all, do it right.-chet
