Stock struts will ride okay if thats all you ever had like me for the 1rst 3yrs on em (springs were my 1rst mod after wheels). When I 1rst got springs they rode as good as stock for a while. Then just a yr or two ago I put on AGX and big bumps that had me bottoming out and bouncing had me running over em faster than usual intentionally in amazement. Bumpy fast corners that caused my steering wheel to kick back when I hit the bumps suddenly didn't even disturb the steering. Body roll control, springs wont cut it like adj struts.

To sum it up you can live with stock struts easily for a long time with lowering springs but until you get good struts you'll never know your missing anything. Had I known I'd had done it yrs ago. Referring to adjustable struts. I probably would bitch about non adjustables as well seeing as I have my front and rear set at a click away from full stiff.
