There anybody put lowering spring on aftermarket monroe strut?
If I do that, did the struts lifetime will be reduce and blow after couple of month?
Thanks!

Did you modify your knuckles to fit the 1gn struts?

I bought monroe sensa tracs at advance, replaced them 3 times under warranty, and got tired of it. Eventually you will get tired of the shitty ride and bottoming out so frequently.
