st spring with factory struts

[sparky009]

I recently bought a set of ST spring and was wondering if it was safe to put them on with the factory struts or will I have to buy new struts???

Thanks for the input.... :thumbsup:

You should be fine. But depending on how many miles you have on your car, you may want to replace them anyway, since everything is already torn apart. KYB's are good for aftermarket.

so if you have 84,000 on your factory struts you might want to replace them when you put new springs on?????

You'll be fine. I just did mine the other day. Rides just a little harder than stock,
my wife can't tell the diff. Handles great! Great drop too.
Check to make sure your struts aren't leaking, but if your around 100,000
I'd replace them anyway (funds permitting). And ofcourse, if the struts
are leaking, replace them.

Im at 71500 km so I guess I should be fine thanks

I have the Eibach with stock struts. I also have the camber kit from PFYC, and everything cool.

It's so damn cold in Philly that the rear struts are frozen

I also have eibachs with stock struts, but the camber kit is not needed.

Yeah, that's kinda funny. Most lowered vehicles need camber kits.
My ST springs brought pretty good drop, so I was sure I'd need them too.
When I did the front springs, I pulled out as much as I could on the bottom of the strut so I could get as much positive camber as possible.
turns out I didn't need the kits, front or rear. You'll have toe issues, easily corrected by alignment tech. :thumbsup:
