Eibach Pro springs installed need shocks

@Gsedan35
Yeah im not looking to ever track the car, and dont really want mega performance from the handling. I do want to make sure that the setup I have now functions properly though and was under the impression I needed new shocks. Would the stockers be ok? Or is it still recommended to change them? The car has just over 60k on it so they may need to be replaced anyway

How does it feel to you? Does it feel like the shocks are not keeping up with the new springs? If it feels okay then I would stick with what you have, until they are gone. Then look at upgrading to better shocks. From what I have read and prices I have seen I would probably go with coilovers before trying to mate a spring and shock from different manufacturers; or go with z or coupe springs and shocks made for the z or coupe. The way I look at it, you pay $220 for springs and $550 for Tokico D- spec or $850 for Koni you are close to or in the low priced ($1000) coilover territory. At least with coilovers you know the shock was made for the spring it is on.

^^ Well it feels a little off.. It feels like the two don't belong together obviously..Thats a good point about mating springs and shocks from diff manufacturers.. I picked up the springs used so I don't feel too bad about the cost.. So maybe I should just wait it out and go the coilover route. My only concern with coilovers is going too low. I don't want to to run camber kits.. Thats just too much $$ for my DD
