Exclamation New lowering springs without Struts??

Well my lowering springs for my Cam finally came and my friend is telling me its better to get struts also to go with the new springs...

Your stock struts were designed for lowering springs. They will have to travel shorter at different rate. Handling and ride comfort wont be optimal for sure, overtime your struts wear out faster too ...

1.8" drop is quite a bit; you should save up for some quality struts and get everything installed at one time.
