thanks for the info i must of missed that post last night. two more questions i can't seem to find the answer for. what causes struts to blow out? is it the amount of drop or the spring rates? and what would be a decent spring rate to go with for normal city driving? thanks for all the help guys.

struts can blow if they are miss used (like doing a drop on stock struts) or if they just get old and @!#$ty.

a) Springs that lower too much for a strut will give it less distance to do it's job, and keep it continually partially compressed position.
b) Springs with too great a spring rate will "force" the strut through its return motion faster than intended.
c) Abuse
d) Age
e) Defects
