Default Aftermarket springs on OEM type SH shocks?

I'm thinking of getting skunk2 springs and cheaping out by mounting them on oem shocks on my SH would this be a bad combo or would it be okay since the SH shocks provide a little more damping than the base models?

I honestly put neuspeed sport springs on my stock struts and have not had a problem yet they had a drop of 1.75F / 1.5R i like it but. Im lucky so far most of the time you want to buy springs and struts so. Its really up to you

Running uprated aftermarket springs with stock shocks is never a good idea.

If you can't afford to put aftermarket shocks on it now, how are you going to afford to replace them when they blow? Save up for a few more weeks and do it the right way with a set of Tokico Illuminas, Koni 8041-Sports, or Bilstein Sports. Modifying cars is not the hobby for you if you're such a cheapskate that you want to overlook the most important components.
