depends upon what spring rates you get. Also depends upon how used your oem shocks are.

it depends on how low you do. I had mine on with oem shocks for about 8 months before the blew out. but since your installing ground controls why not just save up some more money and change your shock/ springs at one time, so that you wont have to take apart your suspension twice.

I know a lot of you guys frown on this, but I have Civic rate Ground Controls on my 94 civic coupe w/ facroty struts and i have no problems whatsoever, even though i'm running around a 2 1/2" drop. I have had them for only a few months though, and they will be replaced soon enough.

wait till you can afford real shocks. youll regret it down the road after you ride in a car with a real setup.
