Default megan racing springs

Just dropped 2 inches ...friend told me i could see problems with my stock springs and struts because there not designed to handle the drop. Any truth to that and what shocks and struts should i use in replacement????

I mean, they are fine. But with a 2" drop, the wear and tear on the stock struts do increase, and their lifespan will be decreased. So you might as well swap it for stiffer struts anyways to improve handling.

Look at Tokico struts.

Look at Tokico struts.
True. OEM shocks/struts weren't meant to work with shorter springs but for the spring gs they were paired with. So you should be fine but expect its life span greatly reduced and maybe even worse handling. I'd say you look into koni yellows or tokico illuminas. Tokico blues IMO are pretty much close to an OEM replacement.
