on stock shocks?? not at all, they will blow pretty quick
personally I'd save up for some decent shocks like the tokico blues or GR2s and then go with some kind of good sleeve over. that way it's still fairly cheap(under 600 for sure) and you can find the perfect height you like

well i would suggest not using stock shocks if you don't want to hit, you should just upgrade all the suspension and drop it like anywhere from 1.75-3 inches... it all depends on taste but i know that once i can afford the suspension i want i am slamming my car to the ground... (well sorta you know what i mean)i want my tires tuckin

damn...$600, man I'm looking to spend in the under $150 range...lol....so I should either leave it stock or buy the right **** for it and not cheap out....I was just gonna get megan racing lowering springs and leave it at that.....mmmm so if I take it easy on the bumps how long would u guys estimate the stock shocks lasting if they are in pretty good shape?

Re: (spray_bombed)
and i know some people like them but tokiko blues are really just stock replacements... maybe a little better...
i rock them for now but you know... i really need to upgrade to some real nice ones with realllllllllllll nice coil overs... i would suggest saving for this and doing it right... i lowered my old car on stock springs and damn... thought i was gonna die bouncin like i did... bottom of my car looks like a sheet of silver bottoming out all the time
always save up and do things right it last longer in the end and you get more props for havin it...
