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
