I have a 95 Civic EX and I just got coilovers for it. I plan on dropping the car about 2" or less all around. Do you think I need to get new struts or will it be ok without them? If not where can I find struts at a resonable price. Im a college student with little funds and the rents wont help either. Please help me.

YES you need aftermarket struts with any lowering. The more you go, the better you need. Also plan on camber kits + alignment + install. Suspension is not cheap, if you can not afford to do it right the first time SAVE or WAIT til you can. The only struts I recommend with coilover sleeves is Koni yellows.

Note: KYB and Tokico struts are stock lenght intended for stock lenght springs. KYB warranty states 1.5" of lowering can be used safely. When you lower on a stock length strut you are making the strut over-work @ a compressed level. That usually results in poor performance, poor ride quality, & premature wear. Suspension is something you feel every time you drive the car, there is nothing worse than a "upgraded" suspension that handles poorly & has terrible ride quality.
