i am thinking about getting springs for my car, but i was wondering how long ur stock shocks/struts will last with the stiffer springs on the car? i am looking at the neuspeed sport springs or the Eibacj prokit what do u guys think

it short, i had neuspeed sports on stock shocks a few years back and my stocks blew in less than a year

really, did u do alot autoxing, i am wondering what to do because i dnt want to give the $ for springs and then in less than a yr rip them out to replace the shocks. would u say it would be more worth it to buy a coilover set. if u figure new costs of shocks after a yr compared to the coilover set.

how long? Not long at all...maybe a yr if youre lucky (drive like a granny and no potholes)

live with the stock height until u can get some coilovers...if u gunna do it...do it the right way...from the start

I ve rode on neuspeed race with stock shocks for 2 years no problems. they do get worn out like a **** though. Its ok to ride on stock shocks just dont drive too hard.

I agree with NeVeR bLoWn,
I got Neuspeed race springs, and it lowered my car really nice its settled in between 2.75" to 3" lower. However, the problems that I have suffered and still suffer justify the fact that I should've, would've, could've bought adj. Coilovers from the start. Ive broken all bolts on the bottom of the car that hold my front nose on, ive destroyed my shocks, f'ed up the front nose spoiler, cracked my windshield, dented my oil-pan, killed tires and scrapped up my stock exhaust and Cat pretty badly... and here is the funny thing, I actually drive and drove carefully!!!
BUY COILOVERS!!! dont allow yourself to make an emotional purchase, do it right the first time!!!

yeah i agree, if your gonna change the springs might as well change the shocks too. do it right if you can. it will be less hassle in the long run.

i only want a drop of like 1.5 inch front and rear u still would recommend the coilovers, i dnt want to **** anything up i would rather do it the right way but just wondering if the inch or more less of a drop would matter. considering ur car is 3' drop

NeVeR bLoWn

That should be all u need to know....but as for which coilovers to buy...there are so many factors that play into that purchase that would have to be a descision u make on ur own...besides they got a couple of good threads goin on about coilovers...check em out....hope it helps yo
