The spring rate tend to be so low, that once you set a height agreeable to the eyes, they have no suspension travel left in them. It is about this time, you realize that both your front struts are now blown.

That was my experience. If you want to drop the car ghetto style without making it ride like an 88 Eldorado, cut the spring. Only cut half a coil at a time. Put it back together, set it on the car, and check the height.

Or, as I am not opposed to a shameless plug, check the FS section for this guy named Broxma. He has a set of AGX adjustables which are almost brand new, with springs already on them for a very decent price. Other people might also have stuff or something. K-sports are not the be all of the suspension world. Honestly, A set of AGX's and decent springs, with the right sway bar, will make a Galant handle exceptionally well.

Ground Controls on my WRX. They were "made for the stock struts", but saying that is like saying the sole purpose of your middle finger is to shove up your rear. I suppose on a set of aftermarket struts which might have allowed for some flexibility in height, maybe, but on stockers, not a chance. Just save whatever money you were looking to spend on the sleeves and get a decent suspension.

Better off spending that on blow and hookers before you waste it on that crap.
