b/c you have average sleeved coilovers...it does...
since u don't have a definite spring rate it would be good to adjust the dampers in relation to the spring rate

KYB are not recommend to be used with ANY coilover sleeves. Why? They can only handle up to 1.75" of lowering to work at the full potenial, warranty is voided. Stock lenght struts do no work well when over compressed. Sleeves can also damage spring perches, I've seen many times when they are completely busted off. Koni sports are the only strut I am aware that will function right with sleeves, good luck getting them for $350.
If it were me I would go with non-adjustable normal lowering springs like H&R's for $150 www.tirerack.com and the best adjustable struts I could afford.
