I just bought replacement struts for my tib, and before i go and install them, I was wondering if I should just go ahead and get some spring too. The struts I got are the Monroe Sensa-Trac line. They got good reviews, and are apparently a big upgrade over stock. My main concern before I delve into this, is whether these babies are gonna blow out crazy fast if I drop it as well. Any help would be great! Thanks ahead guys!

Usually aftermarket struts can handle a drop pretty well. I would think you wouldnt have an issue

Quite a few people run aftermarket strut +lowering spring combos and have pretty good success. I cant speak for your brand specifically (most people seem to go with kyb's) but maybe that might help your final decision

springs really arn't that expensive, so I would

Thanks for the input man. Yea, I had a feeling that it should be fine. What I do know is that Monroe makes some pretty nice struts though, and they do weigh stightly less that the OEM ones. Any recomendations on springs from personal experience?

Honestly, I'm not really that worried about the cost since tax returns are about to be issued!
However, I wont be going with coilovers because thats just DTM, and my tib is just my daily driver, not a track car.

I had TEIN springs on stock struts for 35k miles, struts never blew and it was lowered about 2 inches

(have coilovers now, best decision ever)

I bought KYB struts and the Megan springs were about $150. It is a perfect drop (~1.5") in my opinion.

You'll have a bit more of a bumpy ride but it's worth it!

I had kyb struts wrapped in Eibach Pro springs and it was great. It's a decent, modest drop (1.1"), upgraded handling over stock of course, yet still a nice ride quality for a daily driver.

I would repkly individually to all of you but that would be a bit much lol.
Thanks for all the advice guy! It's much appreciated!
I'm gonna go with the H&R springs. They seem to have the stiffest spring and the way I figure, This will be a good thing for use on an OEM replacement strut.

for those that care, here's a list of crap I have done to my 04 tib...
AEM CAI converted to SRI
Apexi N1 dual cat-back
Short shift w/ white Carbing knob & rubber boot
Konig Again5 17x8's w/ Continental Extreme Contact DWS
2500k Yellow Lows/Highs & Fogs
Blacked out Tails
Monroe's wrapped in H&R's (coming soon)

pretty modest, but she looks sexy.
when i do the lowering I'll post pics.

Thanks again guys!!!
