Can I use these springs with my OE struts?

[Eisbrecher]

I wanna spruce up my p5s handling and looking into getting the Tanabe DF210s

I ono if these springs can go with my OE struts. I ono what factory makes the oe struts but i know tanabe springs works with OE KYB struts.

Also do i need to cut bumpstops for these springs they are pretty low

Your stock struts wont last long on lowered springs. You might as well get high performance struts all at once to save yourself the time of 2 installs.

If you're gonna put them on the stock struts, I would get something that won't put as much wear on your struts (I.E. less dramatic of a drop). I plan on putting these on my stock struts until they give out.

i mean its gonna be a waste if i take out the stock struts and just let it sit there mind as well ride it till it fails... hardcore bad economy status

I've been rocking a 2 inch drop on stock struts for a little over 50K miles. They still ride about the same as they did on day one.... Maybe I just got lucky

or you have super smooth roads! usually stock struts last a few months....maybe a year MAX if you are lucky. when i did it on my sentra, i couldnt wait. the struts/shocks didnt last long at all but i didnt mind lol

I ran 1.4 lowered with oem struts for a couple of yrs before switching to illuminas. The oems were still dry & working fine, not as good as illuminas but same as before lowering.

Hahaha i ono how the roads are in fl but here in LA the highways feel like its going off road. Needless to say the road condition here is pretty bad.

i think as long as the spring rate isnt too hardcore and not too low than i think there is enough suspension travel than it should be fine for awhile
