    as far as i know u shouldn't have too, from what iv been told kingspring lows are the equivalent to fe2's, i have fe2's and if i want to go lower i have to get superlows. hope this helps a tiny bit.

    just because springs are lower doesnt mean they have a lower spring rating. standard shocks should be fine unless you want supeer super lows

    I'd replace them anyway, why run old shocks with new springs. If you want to keep a nice feel to the car best to do shocks.

    I've got KYB front and rear short travel gas shocks on mine and aren't that expensive to buy
