    I had this set-up on my car. and honestly it's now a better package with better short shocks and sl springs. it actually was over firm before. and now it's the best of both worlds..

    My current springs are lovells. and shocks kyb.

    its definanlty worth investing in new shocks. My ride was so hard after i had springs put in. but that was because my shocks were already ####ed so getting the new ones made the ride so much firmer

    will be horrid, had the same set up in mine, had to get pedders shocks and now the ride is a million times better, worth the extra cash.

    It will work. It wont be the best ride ever.

    But im willing to bet that your current shocks are shithouse and destroyed anyway so it will probably be worth the extra to get them changed at the same time.
