    As you have a VS that kit is useless as you can't jus buy strut inserts for the VS its only the models beforehand, you actually need complete new struts which are more expensive. I purchased my 4 king springs super lows and 2 monroe gt gas shortened shocks and the mathcing struts for $590 all up including delivery.

    i am fully aware that will not suit my vehicle..

    i was just refering to the 'brand' not the autual model for the suitable vehicle.

    are you saying that you cant change the shock insert within the autual strut in the front, meaning id have to purchase new struts??

    jon z how low is the front of ur car from tyre to guard?

    is it necessary to change the struts if i wanna drop it at most 2inches?




    btw where did u order yours from??

    lol anyway i would probably recommend gettin shortened struts and shocks if ur lowering it that much, a fair few ppl claim its fine without em but pretty much its a load of bs. It will sit a lot nicer, handle like it should and your springs won't fall out of become loose in their insulators/mounts when ur jackin the car up. I'll pm the place where i bought em from not allowed to 'advertise' anymore on the forums.
