    Read the stickied thread. Once the car is lowered it will not be riding like stock. Keep the stock springs if you want a stock ride. Vogtland springs offer the least drop and ride good becaue of the minimal drop.

    Why does everyone keep saying that? I have seen cars run 60-75K on these with numerous different springs.. Hell I have been using them for years on all my vehicles, and for the price now a days I dont mind paying 200 bux every couple of years for struts. Not busting your balls just wondering.

    That very possible. I could have gotten a bad set but in my opinion, don't expect too much out of these struts.

    Dude, I have them on my FKin GTP right now. Been on there for almost 4 years
    They suck for lowering springs.PERIOD and im not the only one thats said that.

    So, Im sure I can say whatever the Fuk about them.

    Im glad they worked for. Your not GOD and if you want to tally up how many people like them and how people dont, get off this site and check ClubGP. There's a hella lot more people that have run them over there than here.

    i agree. they aren't meant for lowering springs and they will go bad quickly in comparison to how long they should last. however, if you don't think you can get at least 25k miles out of a set then you're crazy.

    on stock springs. Yes

    on lowering springs. No..
    Thats what this whole convo is about. I said nothing about KYBs on stock springs. Only being used with lowering springs
