Shock replacement when raising car

[Robert Peperz]

Hi all,

Just bought a VP SS and getting it ready for roadworthy, at the moment it's lowered af and I'm looking to raise it back to standard height, just wondering if I can chuck in standard springs or if it paramount that the shocks get replaced too? I'm not particularly swimming in funds at the moment so if I can avoid paying $450 that would be golden but I understand if shocks are height rated and i'm just asking for trouble then $450 isn't worth spinning out for.

Any help on the matter will be greatly appreciated

Depends whether the shocks are short stroke shocks or standard height shocks...

If standard height shocks, it'll be fine....Short stroke shocks, you'll need to replace if raising
