Default Do you want looks or performance?

You'll really overwork you stock shocks. Personally, I wouldn't bother. Do a search on it. Unless your only priority is image, I'd say it's dumb as hell to do that.

Default It's been done but...

the shocks will quickly wear out and you'll need to install shocks anyways. To save you the cost of two installs, just put in the shocks and springs at the same time. Or, you can just use aftermarket sport shocks with your stock sport springs. It'll lower the car a bit and give you better handling.

If you don't mind bottoming the car on poor roads or on driveways, go ahead
