here is the description of the spring. it drops the car 1.5 inches all around. because of the spring rate, can i continue to use my stock struts / shocks? or does spring rate not even matter and i should get new shocks. i am strapped for cash. []



The NF210 coil spring features a tasteful drop, and produces the best overall ride quality and comfort for a performance lowering spring. The lowered stance of the NF210 gives the car an elegant pose, while the spring rates, which are only slightly raised (up to 5% over stock) retain factory ride quality settings. This coil spring is extremely popular with luxury tuned vehicles, as well as those with larger diameter wheels that want to eliminate fender gap, but maintain excellent driveability while reducing the risk of damage to wheels that is associated with stiffer suspensions. Comfort especially important on daily driven vehicles, and their passengers. The NF210 provides the best driving experience for all types of roads. For those who demand the best comfort from a lowering spring.

thanks all.

 

Your tires will wear out pretty quick. A drop of even more than an inch puts so much stress...something the stock struts weren't built for. They'll blow within 3-6 months. Think about it....1.5 * 4 =6"
