I was wondering what the worst thing that would happen if I Lowered my car more than 2 inches without replacing the struts.

you risk blowing out your struts and bottoming them out a lot.

Just lower it right...

yeah i heard that the limit for lowering is like 2 inches with out busting anything ...i want to do like a inch drop nothing bad..i like driving 10mph over speed bumps...my friend has a 240sx and he lowered it so much that he got stuck sideways on the schools speed bump and it scraped his freshly painted car..the bottom atlest...yeah like vector said get thoes bump stop things...on my car they were like orange you can fit 2 maybe 3 if you hold them in while you attach the spring..might be kinda stiff tho.

IMO: just lower like 1.0-1.7 inches not to high andnot too low

They're called bump stops and you can probably get them at any auto parts store.

The worst thing that will happen is you get sick of the horrible ride and have to do it all over again. : )
