i got about an inch from my mopar springs, i love the stance on them, i like some tire gap, and i don't need to worry about new struts everyweek.

i'm very happy with them. though i may go to coils soon.

I got the early Mopar springs. Basically theyre 1st gen ACR-R/T springs. Got almost 2 inches out of them. Dont blow struts though... got 6 years out of OEM struts, and 4 years so far out of Konis.

Had the same springs as brian but my bumpstops were trimmed and I kept bottoming the struts out hard. I sold them and bought H&R Sport Limited Edition springs. Cheap and the ride and handle well.

I have sportlines on konis they ride really nice, had teins s-techs on tykico HP2, ride nice until they blew that was about 4 months. A good strut is key if you are going a large drop.

Don't buy anything from andysautosport. Over priced.

or you might not even get it. Happen with a "mugen" lip for my coupe, they couldn't get them anymore, so they offered me a bodykit front or my money back, I said money back, didn't get anything.

i looked for the H&R springs and found them. It says it recommends sport shock absorbers to make for optimum handling. Are they just trying to sell more of their product, or is this a necessity?

Basically it means the same thing everyone else will tell you: You should upgrade your struts when you drop the car, especially if you have a lot of miles on them. If you don't chances are you'll be ripping it back apart before long to upgrade the blown out struts. I have Tokico HP struts on my car. They were $300 new in box.

As long as you buy quality stuff, yes.

OP - Check out the FAQ section. As usual, there is information in there about this commonly asked question...

VERY overpriced and I, too, had a problem with not receiving an item. It was a stb for one of my previous cars.
