Lowering springs.

Ok im hearing mixed things about this. Cause I am on toyotanation as well and got the same answer from everyone but 2 people. So I know some of you have suspension answers. and I got a few questions....

1. If i buy new OEM shocks and struts and decided to put lowering springs on them will I get the FULL DROP I WANT?

cause people are telling me no that it will only lower it 1 inch.

2. If I do lower the car and see that its not that low will I bo ok to just chop off a 1 spring and still retain good suspension?

3. Has anyone ever used Eibach springs on there ride?

if you use stock struts you lose suspension travel every inch lower you go. So the lower you go the worse it like handle/work. if you do a cut and weld on the strut casing you can go as low as you want and get good working suspension as well

So then it would be best to buy OEM sturts and casings and get the ground control weld in coilovers and some camber plates and call it a day?

it would be best to get like tokico hts or agx's for struts and use the stock casing with the ground control stuff

i would recommend to get the sw20/camaro combo and shorten your casings. cuz like stated above you will loose suspension travel and on top of that you will prolly end up ruining your brand new struts also. i would just do it the right way so you dont have to do it again

yea but its going on my AE92 and not my 86. Not sure if its the same combo like the cut and weld method. If it is then I will do it. But its either spend money and do it the right way (coilovers) or do it my way and get the AGX and coilover conversion. Im working with 500.00 here. Can anyone help me out? I may be able to do 600 not sure yet.
