Lowering Question

If i should lower my Gen2 ride height, can i use the stock shocks that were on it before. I was reading that it's smart to use a shock with a shorter body to keep the stock like suspension travel at the lowered height. But i honestly wasn't planning on buying any shocks. They rebuild shocks here and can make them to any spec you want.

You will be fine with the stock lenght struts as long as you don't lower the car significantly. Make sure you have appropriatly valved struts for the stiffer lowering springs.
