Default I think you get more benefit out of the shocks than from the springs...

and if you do them seperately you end up paying for two installs. It's not worth doing them seperately if you eventually want both.

Default its a bad choice..

when the shocks die shortly thereafter..your gonna get stuck with the labour of redoing it all again...better to do it all at once..Get some Koni Sports for 475 at SPP and some Eibach springs at Shox.com for 229.

Default yeah, that's what i figured...

you know how much a "typical" installation of shocks and springs should cost me?

Should run you around $200 for the full install.
