Hey guys. Is there any sleeves that will ride nice on stock struts, and not blow out quickly. Im thinking like a inch drop in the front and like a half inch drop in the back.
lowering springs

You actually want the front to be a little bit lower than the rear.Hey guys. Is there any sleeves that will ride nice on stock struts, and not blow out quickly. Im thinking like a inch drop in the front and like a half inch drop in the back.
You're safe up to a 1.5 in drop on stock struts. I had a Civic with springs that lowered it 2 in. and it was on stock shocks for 2 years. They never blew.
But its hit or miss sometimes you'll get lucky and other times you may blow the struts in a month. Just remember no lower than 1.5 in as a rule of thumb for stocks.

I know u usually get what u pay for but come spring time I wana drop my car at least a few inches but since its just a dd for 49 miles a day I'm looking at just getting some eBay adjustable Coilovers. I just can't c spending 500 or more on coilovers when I dnt drive it tht much. I want the look more. Id rather spend around 300 for springs and strut. Any good thoughts other then just saying ebay stuff is junk?? Thanks guys

Ebay coil-over is junk. Look into Progress, Function 1, Yonka, full set coil overs you can find them a little under $500.
Ground Control is not bad I knew few people running them.
You can also look into Blackworks and Godspeed but I here mix review.
