I don't understand how you all blow out your struts out so fast, I have had Skunk2 coilover's for almost 2 years and I am still on stock struts, haven't blown out yet.

wo0t!
ive been on a 1.5" drop for a long time on stock, and its still a good ride

how many miles do you have on your shocks?

I'm not sure, but maybe having skunk2's may help it last longer. THe reason is that the springs are so stiff, so then doesn't that leave less work for the shock? Meaning the spring won't compress as much, so the shock won't be compressing as much either? Not sure if that makes sense/

how far are you dropped daved? if you're all the way down on those coilovers, like-it-or-not, you're on bumpstops, so the shocks aren't traveling enough to blow.

just a good way to think about it, if it's bouncy, you need stiffer shocks.

Well I have them all the way down but I don't notice the car being too bouncy at all. Everyone that gets in my car always gives me props for how smooth it rides for being so low. They always ask if I have aftermarket struts and when I tell them I don't they are always surprised. I mean don't get me wrong it does ride a little rough sometimes over bumps and shit but not nearly as much as when I see some cars as low as mine and they look like they are bouncing all over the place.

I also have SKunk2 Coilovers, and stock struts. I'm on about a 1.8 drop, and mine have been blown for months..
