Sorry I am no suspension wizard.
i would not recommend it. these springs, being about a 2" drop would probably blow the stock struts pretty quick. You would probably want to get struts that are specifically for lowered vehicles.

now something like Eibach or NF210 you could probably get away with on stock struts.

wow really? ive always thought that putting springs with more than an inch drop on stock struts would blow them....maybe mileage has an effect?

if i can run these on my 132k struts (they may or may not have been replaced, i will tell you they damper like new, one rebound even over big bumps) we may be able to work out a deal my man.

If it makes you feel better, you can have my struts....and give me your setup...all you have to do is swap them out right in your garage, no fuss no muss haha

2003 GS300 SD w/ 33K miles.

I had the stechs installed at about 30K. At 3K miles on these springs, i am unsure if they have fully settled.

Thanks for the compliments your SD is nice as well.. just different color.

bump for the seller.
