Here leme say it again in idioit terms..

DONT DO IT !! or you will have a shitty ass ride. Lowering springs need performance dampers. The Piston heith of a stock Strut is to high for the Compressed spring when the spring is about 3/4 the way sprung the Strut is fuly collapsed resulting in bottoming out. Continued abuse this will will blow seals and eventually you will have no rebound dampening, hence the bouncy ride. You need a Shorter Strut and correct Spring combo.

2" on stock struts = hell
1.5" pushing it
1" decent

2" drop will not deform CV's joints its the constant abuse the driveline sees that destroys them as well as cut springs. The degree of the centerline of the axles is what splits the CV joints. If the wheel/hub is properly cambered you wont have this issue. You guys shouldnt ask dumb questions, they make aftermarket dampners and spring combos for a reason.
