Quick Shock & Strut Question

If someday down the road I wanted to get lowering springs. Perferably an Eibach Pro-Kit. I know its highly recomended that you purchase performance shocks & struts with it. But can you get away with buying NEW OEM replacement shocks for the front, with new adjustable shocks in the rear? Or should I just get an entire kit like Thunder Racings Suspension Package of an Eibach Pro-Kit with Bilstien HD shocks & Sturts?

you'd want the front more for every day driving...you dont want your front end pogoing. do all 4, or dont do it at all

i woudl recomend doing them together. the balance will be off, especially in rebound situations. mushy stockers would start to bounce, the bilsteins would stay controlled.

later
