I'll just expand for reference.


Yes, you can put the espelirs on stock struts, however, being that they are a 2.2" drop, they will more than likely shorten the life of your struts, by A LOT.

you're best to stay 1.5" or less drop if you're staying on stock struts.

for DF210, Espelir, GF210, any of those things, it is highly recommended to go with a performance shock built more to last with lowered (reduced suspension travel) vehicles, such as the KYB GR-2 (near stock ride depending on your spring rates), bilstein sports (stiffer than the GR-2), bilstein HD (stiffest available for our car before coilovers) and those are the only struts I know of that are available for our cars.
