Default keeping smooth ride with skunk2 lowering springs

i have a 4dr eg and i want to lower it but i don't want to lose the smooth ride quality, i always got good results with skunk2 lowering springs so my plan is to get the skunk2 springs and the camber kit, extend the tops and keep everything else stock meaning shocks, bushings and everything else.. what do you guys think about that??? would it work like that??

I would buy aftermarket struts that allow adjustable dampening.

A stock shock will not give you as much comfort as you think on a aftermarket spring unless its something with a very mild drop i.e. Eibach Prokit or something. With that said you try looking at like a Tockico Illumina or Kyb Agx Price not as much as a koni shock but it would do the trick for what your looking for.
