Hey....Definetly get shocks and springs at the same time...I advise to do it all at one time too.....I have a 1996 Accord and the dumbass I was just put springs on there...it was a horrible ride so I switch to AIR RIDE Suspension which was just as bad! I wasted my money and now my suspension is wrecked for life. But I put H&R springs with KYB Gas shocks. So far it is a really good ride. I say buy the springs and buy the shocks and wait tell you can get them on at one time.......
