if your going to get lowering springs, its always a good idea to get a decent pair of shocks that can handle being lowered. you might think you'll be saving money, but you'll have a real bouncy ride. besides if you or your shop are going to be in the same area you'll save your self some money on labor. too many time I have heard that people get springs, and then later get shocks. why pay twice for that labor? do it right and get a good shock/spring combo.
