Default suspension question

well i bought some cheap $ 90 coilovers from ebay.. and trsut me they are better than my frineds nuespeed springs while hit a bump and bounce for the next mile.. but i did a lot of camber as my running board was abt 4 inches of the ground...

i was just wondering as my passenger side rear shock started leaking.. so i guess i have to change it.. but i was just wondering that are the stock shocks capable of functioning when thou my car is dropped ? as i have the coilovers since a year now and trust me my ride is nice and comfy ... but i was just wodnring do i really need to get shocks or i can just play it the way i have been for the last yr ? well thanks for any advice

Stock struts aren't made to handle a drop. And I'm sure the springs aren't helping. You probably have a smooth ride, and the springs probably aren't helping you in the way that normal coilovers are expected too.

crapped shocks are just a detriment to your car's handling and performance, which i am sure is the reason why you bought those coilovers to begin with

I hear the new SEARCH shocks can be had for a decent price

Search for KYB AGX and KONI YELLOW
