I work at autozone and I can get a really good deal on the shocks/struts for my ssei.. im just worried they will get trashed from my lowered ride height (3.5")
My shocks have 150k on them and were dead before I installed my springs..
advise?

3.5" from original wheel gap of car...
My bonneville sat horribly high compared to normal bonnevilles. I have 17x8 w/ 245/45/17 comp t/a on and there is approx 1" fender gap. Stock wheels and tires are flush with the fender.
But yes.. its dropped

I did that on my 91 SSE and loved it just as much as I love the way my 94 SSEi looks.
