Default putting lowering springs on before getting aftermarket shocks on 02 civic ex.

Is it going to be a problem if i put the eibach sportline kit on my 02 civic ex and a front and rear camber kit before i put on aftermarket shocks probably the koni yellows? if so how long can i drive with the stock struts and lowering springs before having to put the aftermarket struts on? any help would be appreciated.

I have the Eibach Prokit with stock shocks on my car. I've had them since April and haven't had any problems yet. I will hopefully be getting some Koni Yellows very soon.

sportlines are about 1/2" steaper than the prokit so ull need a bit mores shock..u can use ur stock but the wont last long depending on the kind of driving ur doing..but since ur going to breaking down the suspension to install the springs u may save urself alot of time doing spring and shocks at one time..and $$$ if ur going to have the shop do it

you should be fine for at least a year or so , until you get your other shocks. But of course the other shocks will help.
BTW try this site, youll find alot of info here about these cars http://www.7thgencivic.com/
