just wondering if anyone does this


i know people do aftermarket springs / stock shocks but i havent heard of anyone doing it the other way around

would it do anything ?

 

depending on shocks, your ride can either remain unchanged or something like tokico illuminas/koni yellows, your ride can be stiff/harsh as heck on local streets (on stiff setting of course)

 

are there any aftermarket shocks designed and tested for stock springs

if i just want to lower my car aftermarket spring on my stock struts will give me more lowering than if i did it the other way right?</TD></TR></TABLE>

Ya that is right. I had coilovers on my 93 with stock struts. The ride is not that good after the stock struts blow. I don't recomend it. The stock struts will blow a lot faster than aftermarket sturts will because they are not designed to work with aftermarket parts.

Good luck!

 

what kind of car you got?

 

6 gen accord 00 lx

changing your shocks won't lower your car, period. unless you get the koni's with adjustable perches..

almost all aftermarket shocks will work with your stock springs.. some will have a better ride than others, some will be a little firmer.

 

aftermarket shocks for stock springs is kind of pointless really. but a good stock shock replacement would be the kyb gr-2's. they ride pretty good and are a lil more aggressive than stock, but pretty close.
