Thanks! I'll probably just use the OEM stuff until/unless I run into an issue. But that still makes me want to ask:

Are there "lowering" shocks/struts available? Ones that are designed for to be able to not wear out faster on a lowered car? There must be some out there that won't be affected at all by lowering the car.

Or in some cases, shocks/struts off of a different vehicle or model are actually what is needed. For instance, on my '95 mustang, if I want to lower the car 2", I need to use shocks off of an '86-'93 mustang. They are somewhat shorter, and therefore their range of operation is suited to a lowered 1995 mustang. If you use those, you won't be bottoming out the shock, it will perform as though the entire setup came on the car from the factory.
