Default question about new springs and old shocks????

I finally lowered my car with some Eibach pro-kit springs, and no new shocks. I was wondering, is it really bad to drive around like this??? I am saving to get some new shocks, do you have any suggestions about what brand. I was thinking the ABX adjustables? Any advice would be helpful, thanks.

hey what up. ive ben thinking about lowering my car for a while and what ive herd is. if you dont get new shocks that the old ones will just go out faster. so you will be good for a while just dont keep it like that for very long. i have no idea about brand names though. sorry

I love the springs, the ride height is not real low, pretty much exactly what I wanted. I would highly suggest the Eibachs, I have also heard alot about the H&R kits.

probably true, thanks for not flaming me. I'd rather be ignored.

hey man. you should replace your struts/shocks when you lower your car. the damper rate on the stock shocks are meant for a strock ride height. when lowered the inertia vavle that allows the shock to cushion bumps and stick to the road is over compressed. you nee to get aftermarket shocks. good ones to go with are Tokico blues. dont waste your time on adjustable shocks 99% of the time you just mess up your handling. unless you are trained in fine suspension tuning stick with what works.
