Default drop and no shocks

i have about a 2 inch drop and no shocks. Will anything happen to my car besides it being bouncy if i dont replace shocks? Thanks!

They will eventually give up and die,and will have to be replaced,I dont know what spring rates you have..bumps and road condtions will also affect the life of your shocks,make it your next mod priority son

I hope you mean no new or aftermarket shocks. And what springs did you use?

dropped my teg with coil-overs 3 yrs ago. I think its about 2 inches. Front: I can fit like 1 1/2 fingers slanted. Back: barely 1 finger slanted. No new shocks and its not bouncy. I do plan on getting shocks soon tho. But thats what I said 2 years ago...

That's what I said too, but I haven't got around to it yet. I have a set of KYB AGXs that have been sitting around the house since april. I'm lazy, don't have tools to do it myself and my *** is too broke right now to pay someone else to do it.

If you're just lowering it for looks and don't mind the bounciness, you're good to go with no worries.

I saw an old T-bird on the freeway this morning. Not only was the car bouncing on every bump, I looked inside the cabin and saw the driver bouncing up and down in his seat as well! I wish I had a video camera at the time...
