Shocks/Struts


If I lower my car with Saleen Racecraft springs, do I need to get a special kind of shock/strut since it would be lowered about 2inches?

you will want to use a shock/strut combo that is valved properly for a lowered car... i looked in your garage but didn't see any mods listed so i assume you are still using the OE combination. a 2inch drop is pretty big so you will need a few other parts to obtain the correct suspension geometry for the front end... including caster/camber plates, bump steer kit, and possibly a new rack bushing. as far as the shocks and struts go i would recommend looking into a set of matched bilstein's for that drop.
