Will I need new shocks???

I have about 32k miles on my car right now and am thinking about lowering the car with either a comptech or H&R sport drop. The question is that will I have to get new shocks since I have alot of mile on the stock one's already?

If you plan on keeping the car for a few more years I WOULD.
Your stock shocks are probably about 50% used up and will need to be replaced quicker if you lower the car.
It would be worth it to replace them while everything is ripped apart for the springs.

I installed CT springs & sways about 4 months ago. I've noticed that the shocks don't handle rough, bumpy or uneven road surfaces very well. I road in Comptech proto CLS and it had konis and seem to be much smoother and stable on the same road surfaces.

If I was to do it over again, I would have installed the konis with the CT springs.
