    stock shocks are not made to ride any other way than stock height. if you lower your car and keep stock shocks they will blow much quicker than they would if you had not messed with them.

    agreed, i had this problem 3 years ago after taking off the coilovers, shocks were shot. but a CTR suspension solved the problem. that and it was too damn bouncy of a ride, go fast and hit a dip in the road and hold on, i'd go aftermarket setup all the way, unless it's a very small drop.

    The only way to run stock is have TEIN springs. Depending on how lower you want to go even the S.Tech springs have 1.9 F/1.7 Rear.

    Tein springs are meant to use on stock struts and shocks. they have a slightly different spring rate than stock but damn near close. Give them a call

    If you're running stock struts, you're going to want a much higher spring rate to keep the struts from bottoming out. You'll blow the shit out of them with a spring rate that's near the same as factory springs.
