#4969, "getting new springs.. .need some help"


          

Ok.. so i'm suffering from stock height syndrome.. and i think I finally solved it. (thanks to people who answered my want ad)

And being ever paranoid... if i get the lowering springs.. will i need to get new shocks before I can replace the springs? I think the springs are H&R Sports Springs...

sorry, i know you guys probably answer this question in some form or another all the time, so thanks ALOT in advance.. and you all know i really mean it.

Shit here we go againg with this damn question about getting struts with springs. Naw man I am just joking, but there are some mixed feelings with this topic. Some people say you have to have new struts when you get new springs because they will blow. Some say you don't. Some say you will blow them in the first week. I have Skunk2 coilovers and I have had them for about a year and a half and still on stock struts and I have no problem. I know somebody will say the total opposite, I guess if you have the money just buy the damn struts now, if not just get the springs and upgrade to new struts later.

from my personal experience, I would just swap out the stock struts during spring install for some reputable aftermarket units and save yourself the hassle of having to go back to redo, and realign everything.

with H&R sport, get yourself a camber kit as well.
