Aloha,
When Eibach pro spring kit is installed, do I need to replace new dampers (shocks) too? And where can I shop for a better price?

E-mail me and I'll get you price although the Tein springs are nicer and a lot cheaper. You do not need shocks but remember that springs are just for looks. If you want to improve handling you will want a complete coil-over suspension. Tein will be releasing their kits in the next few months.

Aloha,

One way to give your vehicle an updated and sportier look is to replace your factory springs with lowering springs. Although you can expect a stiffer ride, lowering a car will improve handing and steering response.

What often gets overlooked is the shocks and struts (dampers) and how lowering springs affect their performance and fit. Each damper has a specific travel length which is matched with the spring rate of the car's O.E. springs. When you install shorter springs, the O.E. damper may "bottom out" and become damaged. For this reason, it is recommended to match your new shorter "sport" springs with the correct "sport" dampers.
