Default H&R OE Sport Springs on stock shocks???

I have a 2005 ex V6 accord coupe. I want a comfortable ride so i am taking off the lowering springs that the previous owner installed and I am putting on H&R OE Sport Springs. Is it a good idea to install H&R OE Sport Springs with my stock shocks? Or should I also install upgraded shocks as well.

Depending on how good the shocks are, they may be okay for awhile. I might just wait until they actually go bad before putting on upgraded shocks since the OE Sports are such a super-mild drop.

With the mild drop the H&R OE have, you would not have to use any camber kits or buy any adjustable control arms, correct? I need new struts and springs for my 06 accord sedan and I've hear the H&R OE were a good choice. I just don't want to have pour a ton of money into the suspension by buying a lot of other stuff just to make the struts and springs work with the car.

That car doesn't have struts.

You don't need camber kits of any form for a mild drop on that car.

I am speaking from experience with these, ran it for 2 yrs, h&r oe w/stock shocks and its a comfortable ride, I put them on shocks that had 100k miles on them too, very mild drop but it does handle better
