Default Springs

Hey, I just got my car back and it had nothing to do with the master or slave cylinder or any part of the hydraulics. The clutch pedal actually broke so i just got a new pedal assembly and with labor it was only like 120 bucks, not too bad. Has anyone else had that happen? Anyway I've been looking for lowering springs cuz i want it about 1-2 lower. I was wondering if you can buy the springs without buying new shocks. What are the best springs to use, it seems as though most of you guys are running H&R or Intrax. Also if i do springs now and then decide in a year i want some bilstein shocks is it good to put them on, or should you do the springs and shocks all at once?

I would never suggest doing springs without shocks.

Default You can run lowering springs with stock shocks but....

it wouldn't ride that great. The stock shocks are designed for stock spring rates. Also you are better off getting them both at once. If you do springs now and shocks later, you pay more labor. You can change the front shocks without taking the springs out, but the rears you have to. Its up to you ;-)
