picked up a pair of adjustable lowering springs (coil sleeves) i wanted to install these until i get coilovers in a few months just to see what it would look like with a lowered car. i've heard you need new struts. and other say its fine. others say old struts blow. whats the truth or is there? and i read about car hopping with older struts. that would be rather embarrasing.

my ride is a 1991 hb

the stock struts are designed for the stock springs if you go and use lowering springs and with stock ones they might blow, there old anyways, you may not like the ride. so while your down there why not change to coil overs. ;D
