is it really bad for your stock shocks to run some lowering springs.. im not looking at an aggresive drop, but im getting tired of the huge wheel well on my car.. i might get some h&r sports for my birthday, but not the koni yellows that i want.. (gonna buy eventually tho)

basically what im curious to know is, it is ok to run these springs on stock shocks for a signifcant amount of time? or can i expect to have blown shocks in like a week?.. how long could i expect... realistically..

 

Depends on the spring (springrates + amount of drop). Comptech springs (1.25" drop) are actually advertised to be used with the stock shocks, but the H&R's are a bit more aggressive. I would just save up until you can get both at once and do a complete replacement.

I was at stock height for the duration of high school, and it's really not all that bad. h: Once you're lowered people assume you're a member of the "crowd" and try to race you at every opportunity they get.

hehe ya.. its just like i said, i might be getting them for my bday.. which is like 3 weeks from nwo... but ya.. hehwas just wonderin

 

The stiffer the spring, the quicker it will tear through your stock shocks... probably in less than 6 months.

 

you will be fine with H&R sports and stock shocks for a while.... they might last 6 months or they might last 2-3 years. But you will have to buy shocks somewhere down the road
