First, your 
for using RACE springs on stock shocks. What did you think would happen?
Second, you can drive but I wouldn't drive much. I would start counting and saving every $ you can because you need better shocks now.
Better go to the classifieds and start looking.....

What's your definition of "SAFE"?
It is SAFEST not to drive the car in such condition.
If you must drive, take it easy because tires do not adhere [SP?] to the ground the way it should.

I had 2 blown shocks a few months after i got ground controlls,.... 1 in front left 1 on rear right,... I drove around like that for maybe 6 months,... the ride was really messed up especially over bumps

Re: Help I think my shocks are blown (teg-your-it)
My front left shock is COMPLETELY busted, first the little bushing and bolt that holds the shock in my engine bay came off, then after one huge bump, it completely busted it, and its leaking oil and sits lower than my spring does. Very bumpy ride, i had my skunk2 coilover slammed and i had to raise it now to make sure something like this does not happen again.
