Tokico struts are made for tokcio springs. They are listed to lower the car 1.5 inches. The springs are slightly stiffer than an eibach sportline(stock feel 1.8 inch drop) and slightly softer than an eibach prokit(1.3 inch drop). I have never bottomed out my struts on normal roads or autocrossing for 40K miles. I have the bump stops cut 1/2. I also have aftermarket sways

The struts do feel like they have slightly less damping than they did when new. The compression feels the same as new. I have abused these struts and if you are lowered 1.5 or less, you will have no problems.
