Default tien s-tech springs for my es1

im planning on getting some tien s-tech springs for my sedan but i wanted to know if they would be alright with stock shocks, cause i dont really have the dough to match the springs with some konis or tockicos

thx

im going to let you now somthing..

the ride with after market shocks is still a little bit rough..

i would HIGHLY NOT reccommmend using these springs with stock shocks, they will tear the **** out of them.

i would either do a adjustable shock/strut combo or get tokico blues.

ive been rocking H&R sports ( similar drop to teins) for about.... 8 months on stock shocks. The stockers are still holding up fine, but hopefully this summer ill have the chance to upgrade to GC's + Koni's... or at least get Tokico blues.
