You guys all running stock struts on the SSC? I definitely want some drop, but if I was to install new struts too are stock fine or something else? Also have to rework the downpipe before I do this which kinda sucks.

I started with 85k FE3s then switched to new FE3s at 105....it improved the ride....drop is the same.
Those GP guys will use the KYB GR-2 or AGXs usually.

I put Monroe Sensa-Tracs in. Rides way better than the worn out leakers they replaced.
 
OK. I wasn't sure if you had to use special struts that were shorter and made for lowering springs. I've heard of struts blowing out when lowering. Is this only on extreme lowering?
 
no, they'll take a beating with a more aggressive time table. stock struts aren't valved appropriately for the higher spring rates of the lowering springs.

they'll work, but you'll go through them faster.
