Not only will you need new shocks.. but it's not recommended to mix and match springs. You'll have different springs from different companies that have different spring rates installed on different parts of the car... so the handling of the car may be altered in a negative way.

you might sacrafice handling instead of aiding it if ya do that. Your rear end will feel pretty loose on hard turns. You'll be in oversteer city.

I am running RACE setup for over 9 months know. I think the drop is perfect, I did switch out to Konis though with the change over. If you don't do it at the same time, then it will only be a matter of time till the stocks give out and you'll have to anyway. I also agree with the comment about running the same brand of springs on all four struts.
