the springs are supposed to push upward on the car, which is why having shorter or different rate springs allow lowering

the struts shouldnt really serve the same function - they are just there as a damper so you dont bounce infinitely as if you were on springs alone

 

I was told by several people that certain struts can lower the car (ie. TRD struts since they're shorter than the stock ones.) Not sure about the Tokico's...

 

Thanks

 

the spring gives you your height (and suspension travel), the strut only controls the bounce.

 

IN europe they cut the bottom part of the strut (were the spring seats) and they lowered as close to the wheel as possible to lower the car. I thought that maybe Tokico does that, or maybe where the struts attaches in the bottom the support it's welded higher to lower the strut.

 

struts do not lower your car...

 

um no...
