Lowering?, on MONROE struts. yes i know.... Options

[samir0189]

First off- the monroe struts - I know they suck guys. We all know they suck. They are bouncy bouncy and soft. BUT I am also getting a brand new set for free under warranty.

They were purchased a long time ago because they were a budget shock, so i do not expect high performance out of them.

My question is, WHY does everyone say that these are bad to lower on? Do they blow up/out? Do they not allow sport springs to seat well? what is the reason everyone says they suck for lowering? OR If its a matter of preference cause "they suck" please let me know.

And instead of making a new thread, im looking for a very conservative drop if i decide to do this. So any opinions about some comfy 2" and less drops are welcome. Just tryna get rid of some of the unsightly wheel gap, not going for lowest 6gc.

Thanks guys.

The cheapo monroe's are not even close to oem quality I believe. So if you lowered them, your ride would be soft and not stiff like it was intended to be. I've had some very nasty experience from autozone struts. I think putting them on didn't make much of a difference in fact I think my old ones that were almost broken in half was a lot better just that these new ones were still in one solid piece.
