Neuspeed Springs?

I've got this question in my springs post but i need a quick answer and no one seems to be replying to that one.

If i go with neuspeed springs (1.75 front, 1.5 rear)

~Can i live for a couple months or so on stock shocks or will i be fucked?? (car has 74,000mi on it and i dont think they were ever changed)

~Do i have to have a camber kit or do u think i could wait a couple months for that as well?

---a couple months will probably be like somewhere between 2 and 4---

Reason i'm asking is cuz i only have i a lil under $300 and thats enough for springs and installs but not really enough for camber and shocks. I'm saving for the shocks but taht will take a month or two. So i want to know if i can live without it for now.

LASTLY~ anyone with these springs; will i rub with 225/40-18's ???? Cuz thats next after the shocks and camber. COLOV6CL said it does rub but not much. What are the consequences of it? Will i really fuk up my car if i do this? Whats the consequences on ? the rims? the tires? the suspension? the wheel well? Thanx guys needed the info.

Save up the money first and do it right. Less headaches down the road.

you can live with the springs and the stock shocks, but i would wait until you have all of it because otherwise you will have to pay another install fee when you put the new shocks on.

not to sound smart or anything but with a lowered car u can't exactly fly over a speed bump in the first place. we're probably tlakign about mid february for the shocks. considering getting the springs by this friday (jan 4th)

what about the rubbing? will i be ok with 225/40-18's cuz if its gonna rub i'm scared and i dont think i should get it.

once again what are the problems with rubbing? should i be scared would the minimal rubbing be enough for me to be scared for the reliablity of my car? (wearing out tires, fuckin up suspension etc... )

everything will rub a little when you have that low of a drop.

you can always but spring spacers if it gets too bad......

remember the ride quality also.. if thats a foctor.. you better go with the eibach prokits..
