Default Spring + Strut Combo

I know most of you are going to say go with coilovers, but I love the soft ride springs give me and to get the ride like this with coilovers it would cost me $1000+ to get it. Anyways, I'm on DF210s right now and was wondering if i get kyb struts or any aftermarket struts, will they lower my car even more? I had some people told me they would and some told me they wont so I just wanted to make sure from the experts at CL ...thanks

No lowering depends only on the springs. The shocks can be different from stock and change the ride (rebound for ex).

Actually sometimes shocks have different perch settings on which the springs sit. In this case, then yes they lower the car even more.

Daizen springs will but imo just get your self a set of EZ streets. still comfy, have dampening control, they're only like $600 which in some cases are cheaper than springs&shock combo. and you have all the adjustment. Vendors on here is where my buddy just bought his from a group buy i believe it was $599 shipped. so cheap!
