Anyone running stock springs on aftermarket shocks ?
Well I am considering upgrading to a skunk2 or progress suspension (coilovers) to replace my cheapo, mismatched Jun coils in front and Ground Control coils in the back. Only thing is that I have a combo of tokico blues and kyb AGX's that I don't wanna part with right now.
Having major camber problems and saving up for the camber kit to purchase and install with the new suspension, so I want to get my camber straightened up in the meantime... so would using stock 92-95 springs be any good in the mean-time ?

using stock springs won't hurt anything, but unless your current setup is negatively affecting the way your car drives or handles, just wait til you get all of your parts together, and swap it all at once.
if you pull off your jun and GC coils now and swap for stock springs, thats a good deal of work. then when you buy the new coilovers, you'll have to do it all again. i'd say save yourself the work and just wait til you can do it all at once.
i learned that the hard way on my last car.

Honestly, just pulling off and replacing shocks and springs are cake. The hardest part would be compressing the stock spring again, which I can get the tool for.
My concern is my new(ish) Falken Azenis' that are starting to show uneven wear.
