KYB questions (with lowering springs)

[ypresman]

Anyone ever run kyb sport shocks with lowering springs like this affordable kit on eBay? https://www.ebay.com/itm/310342597573
Not looking to race my sedan.. Just for normal city driving and decent stance...

Those shocks are $135 total shipped from amazon (google the part number; check reviews while you're at it lol).
So at $383 shipped, you're paying $248 for unknown springs.

Oh okay. Then you're over paying since those are ~$180 new.

No worries, I'll def look up how I can get this kit at the cheapest.. What I would like to know are people's experiences with running these shocks on lowered Springs, do they last or is it not worth it?

I can pretty much get the kit for $320 with shipping if I use Amazon and eBay for the springs but no reviews... Not sure if these struts can handle a lowered car

I have had those KYB shocks with H&R race on several E30's. They are good shocks for a stock setup but something like Bilstein or Koni are ideal for firm handling.

So I don't have to worry about them blowing up or bottoming out? LOL, and I'm sure the ride will still be better than my current stock setup.. Finally found someone who is used these..
