They are for extreme situations where the strut compresses dramaticly. yeah i decided not to put any in after talking to some people. other than how big a pain in the ass the last rear strut assembly was, im pretty happy with the drop and how it rides. if any1 needs an ebay store try thepartsladi i got my struts from them, even tho they sent me the wrong ones at first they ended up getting it right lol |
