    I think Galant306m has these
    God created turbo lag to give the v8's a brief moment of hope.

    i have the white shocks wit the AWD springs and they dropped the car more than it said it did. the 1.75" drop was more like 2.5" hehe.

    yea i have that same exact setup.

    The drop at first wasn't much but once the springs settled in the drop was pretty nice. I would say the ride is still really good the car didn't get all bouncy and its not to stiff where you get tired of driving on long trips.

    also get an alignment right away, i bout new tires when i got these springs, i put about 5k on them and my front tires are done for.

    Agreed, I bought KYB's for my car a long time ago and found out they suck.

    Don't know why people say KYB is garbage..and I am not saying Tokico is garbage either, both are great shock/struts. If you drop the car more than beyond a shock/strut design, it will most likely fail sooner than expected. Call KYB, Tokico, etc etc and ask them the maximum drop height to whatever shock/strut model and go from there.
