hey guys, so i want to lower my celi to get a better lookin stance bc to me the stock stance looks sooo tall, and im told that KYB shocks and struts with Eibach springs is good for my 95gt. im jus wonderin if i should go with a 1 inch drop or 1.5 or w.e.. lookin for some opinions and wonderin how smooth my ride will be, dont want it to be really bumpy, hoping it wont be.
lemme kno what u think, thanks -------------------- st205 powered ss3 coupe

Both the front and rear have wet struts with integrated shocks. The difference between the two is that the fronts have a big retaining nut, allowing you to remove the shock pistons and put new inserts in. The rears don't have the retaining nut, everything is permanently intact. Okay, now that makes sense as well. I was always under the impression that OEM struts would blow with lowering though.
