Looking for some options regarding aftermarket shocks/struts with lowering springs. What lowering springs work with oe shocks/struts?

Id go with Ground Control sleeves or Skunk 2 sleeves but if you dump them out the stock shocks will wear out fast. If you wanna dump it put either sleeves with tokico blues or koni yellows and they will ride great,don't forget camber kits too.

Wrong tokico shock...

If you want to go more than 2"s then go with full body coilovers.

Either way you are going to want to get it aligned in the front especially toe,and get a rear camber kit too.

1.5-2"s isn't slammed...he will be fine with 2" drop springs on stock shocks as long as the springs aren't to far off of the stock spring rates.
