Default Spring questions

I currently have stock suspension on my 97 civic ex coupe (ej8)
Im looking to get some Eibach 550#'s for the front and 800#'s for the rear.
My question is,
1.will these spring work with stock shocks?
2.will these springs work with tokico or any other shock?
3.what length should I get to lower the car 1-1.5 inches

Thanks, im a suspension newb

who the hell told you to get 550/800?

and youre asking if they work with stock shocks???


illuminas and regular ground control springs will be more than stiff enough.

First off, you can't just put the springs on there without coilovers. You didn't mention that you were going with c/os so I thought I'd point that out.

1. No they will blow stock shocks
2. No, they will blow illuminas
3. Whatever length comes with the C/Os you're getting (see the first comment).
