WiLL FaCtOrY ShOcKz Do???

[MsG_ChRiS]

Will the factory shock absorb work in conjunction with lowered springs without any probs or is it a good idea to buy myself some lowered shocks also???

If if i put the springs in just for a while and then buy the shocks later will this suffice. :kick:

No, factory shocks when new are barely able to control the stanrd spring rates, they have no chance of controlling the ~30% higher spring rates needed in lowered coils. And I assume yours aren't new, they are throw away at around 60,000 k's.

Plus you will be wasting the labour, the shocks have to come out to replace the springs and then they have out come out again to replace the shocks.

If you are only looking at lowering, then my suggestion is to get a set of Bislteins shocks and use the circlip adjustment with the standard springs to achieve the desired height. Have a look at the Stagea Suspension thread for pictures and more details.
