i have an xb with stock shocks and struts lowered on tanabe df210's. the ride is about the same as stock. just a lil bit rougher. not enough to make me dislike em. plus i can take offramps at higher speeds!!

Raf somthing you will notice.. by keeping stock struts... you will wear them out faster and have to get new struts later...

How much of a drop are you looking for...

Well if you switch them now, you can save your stockers. If you ever sell it in the future, you can switch back to the stock ones and they'll still be good.
If you keep it until they blow,switch to after marking and you decide to sell, you'll probably have to sell it with the after market shocks on.

Unless the new owner wants stock... theres no reason to take the aftermarket ones off...
