i been reading there really isn't any that are made to handle lowering our cars exp when they made koni yellows...

like say if you use a stock replacement such as kyb on a 3rd gen they will blow out if you use any thing buy a stock spring...

so how long do
--KYB
--Monroe
last when lowering our cars?

no issues with the KYB's I've had them on the car for over 6 years now.

I did blow out one of the struts... but that was because i hit a massive pothole. Any shock would have blown out in that situation.

I can't speak for monroes, i've never used them other than the strut mounts which are holding up fine.

I've been in a Koni z24, and the ride isn't very good.

I ran KYBs with Eibachs for several years, and never had any issues. You can't compare 3rd gens to 2nd gens. They have lowering springs that will lower the car almost 2", we don't. Thats where their problems are, not with the dampers. A 1" shorter spring will not cause a damper to blow out.

hmm... but aren't the intrax and sprint springs almost 2'' drops?

do you think they will have a problem with these struts?
