Default Dropping a car noob question

if i wanted to drop it a bit, and just bought springs, are my shocks going to get messed up?
What kind of shocks do you guys recommend
and whats the difference between all taht and coilovers.

There's a link right on this very page called "Search Forums". Believe it or not it actually works.

Default yes, get shocks too

bilsteins will be stiffer
konis will be a little softer

coilovers give you the ability to adjust

Default Definitly get shocks too......

you won't be happy with the ride you get with just lowering springs, will be bouncy because the stock shocks are not valved properly for the lower ride height.
