So, in the time I have been around this place, it seems like a lot of the info contained in the threads in this forum are by now pretty dated. I guess a lot of folks have moved on from these cars, and they aren't as popular to mod these days as they once were.
I am looking at lowering my '96. When I bought the car, it needed shocks. I had a complete set of OE replacement (Monroe) dampers installed. That was about 3000 miles ago. Now I decide to lower it, and have picked up a set of BBK springs. But spending some time on the MM tech-pages, they warn against putting lowering a car with stock dampers - indicating that the OE parts aren't up to the challenge, and that the car will handle worse with stock dampers and higher rate springs.
Surely someone must be able to comment on their experience? Do I have to wait until the $ is available to replace a new set of shocks and struts too?
