Another Spring Thread

I know im probably beating a dead horse but how low can you go with lowering springs before you start blowing the stock struts out. Also what springs and sway bars would you guys recommend? The car is an 05 LS, Thanks for the info.

I've seen people blow the struts by just using the Eibach springs.

grab some LNF/FE5 shocks/struts and you'll be good. CED sells them for pretty cheap. the only upgrade i know of past that is the Koni Yellows

fe5 struts and shocks with SSC springs. Cut 3/8" off the front bump stops.
this is what I have and I love it so far. Nice drop, still comfortable, and no CV noise.
