With lowering our cars, are our struts going to have to be changed?

I have Boge's on the front that were replaced in May-ish, and Bilstien Tourings that are going to go in soon.

No they will not have to be changed. Use the ones you have now.

Okay good, Just wondering. My friend told me and yeah.

I wonder if anybody has done a NA turbo build. I thought about it today, and wouldn't that create more power if you tuned it? jw

My 94 NA used to have the old tail lights, until I swapped for the new ones. They fit perfectly on the 94 cars.

Putting a Turbo on the 2.4 NA block - bad idea! That 10.5 compression plus the Turbo pressure will kill the gaskets.

Lowering springs - I'm not sure if it's worth it. My car's rear is lowered and I don't see much benefit of it. (front is stock - yeah, I know - dumb. But that's what the previous owner did)

YES! I can't wait to find a set then

I was just wondering about the turbo 2.4NA. Honda's do it, so wouldn't just getting new gaskets and such?

I want to lower, I figured I have too much body roll

I don't think it's the gaskets you have to worry about, it's the higher compression ratio plus the turbo equals better chance of bending your rods. At least that's what I have read all over VS, never heard of gaskets.

I really hope to get a tune. I just ordered the springs, so they should be in shortly.

I really do want a tune, but it costs sooo much! I'll check with a few local tuners to see how much they can do it for.
