front strut probs

[Jeza]

You'll probably find that your old springs had sagged a little, so the 2 inch drop was comparing to a new set of stock springs.

New inserts won't help. The inserts (shock) control the oscillations of the spring, ie when you bounce the car up and down they offer the resistance and slow/ stop the bouncing when you let go.

If you want to go lower than what you have you will need to look at strut bodies with lowered spring cups / platforms- adjustable ones will get it sitting exactly where you want it, have a look at http://www.toplineparts.com/lowstrut.html

I see your in England- I think big boys toys offer something similar http://www.bigboystoys-uk.com/ have a look at the performance suspension on their site.

And 1 more thing- if you go this route the strut body will be shorter and you will need new inserts to fit.
