eibach pro kits

i was thinkin about getting eibach pro kits. yeah im not going for the sport lines coz i figured its waaay too low for me, and i live in miwaukee, lotta nasty bumps in certain areas so if i get an oem kit as well i dont wanna do too much damage. so anyways to my question, if i get the kit, do i need to get new shocks, or change them?

You don't need new shocks necessarily. However if your shocks have anything over 30k miles on them I would replace them. Typically shocks will last from 50-75K but it really depends on the driving conditions, road conditions, etc When you put lowering springs on you shorten the distance the shock is able to travel and therefore accelerate its decline.

PM me if you need the Eibach Pro Kit.

pro kit = 2.1 in. front drop and like 1.6 in. rear, so you should get shocks.. your stock ones won't hold out long. also plan on getting a camber kit for another $150 or so.

Shocks:
tokico blues = cheapest
tokico illuminas = ajustable
koni and KYB = expensive

think about getting h&r sports. it's less of a drop. about 1.5 in. so it'll be easier on those bad roads.
