Is it safe to drop my car a 1.5 ins with springs on the stock shock?

If you want to kill your shocks and start bouncing like a ghetto cruising ricer, go ahead.

i wouldnt quite say that. is that from person experience or from what youve "heard"?

ive been riding on stock shocks with my eibach sportlines for over a year and a half and my stock shocks are still holding up. it is a good idea to replace the stock shocks as soon as you can though. you wont be "bouncing like a ghetto cruising ricer" though.

So I exagerated a bit. This is not personal experience, this is from watching lowered cars drive by me bouncing.

just get the springs and shocks at the same time so you wont have to pay double the instalation costs, and lower your car right and dont **** up your stock shocks

After a year and a half on stock shock and sportlines I can assure you that you have grown used to your shocks and they are most likely 80% DEAD by now. You should definatly invest in some good shocks/struts.

My friend lowered his '01 lude on Intrax springs and after a year it rode like *** compared to my sportlines on koni yellows set on soft. When he first had the springs put on it rode allright....
