struts and strut mounts

[mekal]

alright searched for this one but couldnt find anything.... i was woundering if you had to get a specific strut mount for a specific strut??? i want to get some aftermarket strut mounts with my new suspension... and i was also thinking of gettin some aftermarket bump stops to... my struts are goin to probably be koni yellows (externaly adjustable)on dropzone coilovers... not for sure 100 percent if im getting those struts and coilovers... still got some some more researching to do... if you guys know of any good but affordable suspension setups let me know.. i want to know what works good before i buy all this sh*t ... looking to drop my car 2-2.5 inches... was told that konis are the shortest strut and would probably be the best strut for lower ride heights... let me know wht you guys think.. thanks

Why do you want to drop so low? There are some serious negative effects from doing that, but then again, maybe you're just doing this for looks.

Anyways, heres some info on dropzone. I'd look for a different solution, like ground controls.

Personally i wouldnt go any more than a 1.75in drop.Like stated above after 1.50-1.75 you start getting into camber kits and stuff. Also you will never get your car on a lift. Just my opinion

He has already dropped the car about 3in. with junk ebay cheap lowering springs. He's trying to do it the right way now so that it doesn't ride so shitty. Plus the damn things don't even hold up they're broken now, but still functional.
