Default Lowering springs help

I need your options, I'm planing to buy tanabe GF210 springs. They drop my car 1.3 inches all around and a spring rate of 4.4kg front and 2.8kg rear.
Will a 1.3 drop effect my stock shocks?
I don't have money to buy better shocks right now.
Should I get these or something else?
Also who makes springs that will level my car?

get ground controll coilover springs, they dont cost that much!! when your stock shock are all shot then upgrade to kyb or tokico adjustable dampers!! or...
get them at the some time so you dont have to do them again!!

why would you honestly bother with those springs - it is not even going to be a noticable drop.

If you are looking for a moderate drop then go with h&r sports or wait 2 weeks and buy my eibach pro-kits

Also, you sig is stupid.

Honestly, those springs will look like a 1" drop. Friend had those at first on his

Accord but then traded them out for the purple Tanabe's. Just either get 1.5" drop

or wait. My dumbass is riding with Neuspeed Race w/stock shocks. WoOt.

EDIT: To anwser your question, 1.3" won't affect your shocks that much, but any

lowering modification you do to your car will affect your shocks.

I just got a set for $150 shipped. Check http://www.groupbuycenter.com . I believe that http://www.tirerack.com has them for around $160 shipped. Quality spring that is relatively inexpensive.

Is it possible to have a high spring rate without having a real low car. Because I don't want to be on speedbump alert or road dip alert.
