    wha tyou hear is a sound of bottoming out. your struts are not design for lowering springs. you need stiffer trusts. since you have drop sones, the stiffest springs, you will have to get bilstein revalved with shorter rods. expect to pay over $600+ for all 4 of them, lowering a car is not cheap. if you do it cheap time, it will cost you in a long run.

    Yes if your struts can't handle the springs.

    be prepared for them to blow. like i said the only way to get a full control of drop zone will be to get a full set of custom revalved bilstein with shorter rod.
