R35p3kt got them last year, had them on for a about a month till his car started riden like a clown car, send them back, get konis and ground controls.

 

koni yellows and ground control coilovers FTW!
you can slam the car low and be just fine on those! only thing i recomend is the ground control extended top hat mounts to give your strut a longer mounting point which should help the ride. my ride was decent but was kinda ruff from bottoming out on the bump stops since i didnt have the extended tophats.

 

so how or why do the struts blow?
and how much am i lookin at for lowering of 1.5 inches on a 95 civic coupe

 

to lower to a nice ride and about 1.5inch id say some TEIN Stech springs. just know they have alot of FAKE ones on ebay! the difference is the springs logoing on the spring itself. REAL TEINs have them printed on the spring. and the FAKE ones use a sticker.

for my old drop i used TEIN Stech springs and Tokico HP Series Shocks / Struts.
nice ride and a moderate drop. only downfall is they are not adjustable coilovers and the sides are not matched drop due to the weight of the car being offcentered.... it is off centered from stock BUT you dont notice it. but after lowering you can see the difference alot easier!

it bugged me so i switched out and upgraded to go even lower with my koni yellows and ground control coilovers. ground control is a great adjustable coilover set! you dont have to mess with those 2 spring perches! its simply adjust the one perch and then with a allen wrench just tighten the perch and its solid and not going anywhere!!!!!
plus the eibach springs which are well known for there quality. and you can even pick your spring rate. if you want soft daily springs or stiffer springs for a tighter ride.

and the koni yellows are also adjustable so you can stiffen the ride up with afew simple turns of the top **** on each strut. helps tweak your ride exactly how you want it to ride!

 

so how much does that run?
and how do unknown coilovers blow struts? just curious

 

Anything that is lowering your car is going to blow your stock struts. The lower ride height puts more stress and wear on them.

 

so if i buy good coilovers i dont need to buy new struts?

 

you need both. its like building a sweet *** car with huge HP and then slapping street tires on it. the weak/cheap part will blow!
