Come on jeff you should know this. You NEED struts that can handle the drop. Read the suspension sticky for a refresher of combo's.

Im looking @ the goldline drop springs. Thier about 1.75" drop a buddy of mine has them with the stock struts on his 97 grand am. It sits low and rides nice im just wondering is it possible to use the stock struts and shocks ?????

nope, definitely not good to use the stock struts for that. they will blow and the ride will be crappy, and then you have to take it apart again to change to better struts. Koni yellows are what you need for those.

that low of a drop you need either koni yellows or tokico dspecs. both run about 550 brand new. dont cheap out and try any other struts because you are just going to waste money

I would have to agree, before I knew any better, I put those ebay specials on my car and man........HORRIBLE RIDE! Not to mention needing new struts. I just went back to stock. You live and you learn bro!
