Default Springs now or wait for shocks?

I recently purchased some eibach sportline springs and a set of the eibach pro dampers from ajusa. Today they told me that they have the springs in now, but they won't get the shocks until the end of the month. Since I live about 45 mins from their store i could just go down and get the springs now. My question is if i put the springs on now will the stock shocks be ok for a month? I know the sportline drops pretty low. Im worried it might be too extreme for the stock shocks, even with easy driving. Should i wait to get them both on together or risk blowing my shocks? Thanks

wait til you the the shocks. Dont waste ur time and put them in one at a time. Just install both shocks and springs together in one shot.

I agree with waiting, but the springs will work on stock shocks for a month.

It takes to much time to compress and decompress springs. You'll be waisting time and effort.

I agree wih everyone. Why waste time to install it twice and have to waste money again on another alignment.

I originally put Tein S-tech's on my car until I finally got to the setup I have now and let me tell you, doing just springs took twice the amount of time to do coilovers or shock & spring combos.

Plus, dont blow the stock shocks....keep them good for when you sell your car so you have the option of returning it back to stock.

Just wait to get the shocks just as everyone says. The eibach pro damper kit may be a little soft for the sportlines. I contacted shox.com and they got me a really good deal for sportlines and koni reds for 450
