I just got some new bullit springs. I was wondering since the drop is so small can I just use my old schocks and struts. Will the drop really kill my shocks. Thanks.

Yes, you can use em, but they will quicker.
That said, I have Mach1 springs on mine, with 3/4 of a coil cut out back and 1/2 a coil cut up front...with stock shocks and struts. I've had this setup for almost 2 years and it doesn't feel much different than stock. You certainly can use your original S&S until you want to upgrade em. That's my plan...I did a poor man's drop. Screw all the nay-sayers....

true, you have to remember the car is going on 6yrs too


also what's the point in doing the job twice? unless you REALLY need the springs in asap just wait until you can afford new dampers
