95teg: IMO, the shocks will last another 10k with those springs on. then you are going to have to get a new set. meaning more time spent wreching the car.

so its true that you match shocks to springs and not the other way round?

So after 10 k can i just put on some tokico shocks or will they not work on newspeed springs?. " BY the way i messed up, im gettin newspeed not eibach, i dont know if that makes any difference." Thanks

its neuspeed, btw.

yes you can do that. but do you really want to take apart your suspension again? and also taking the car to get another alignment>?

Yes I think you'd have to get it realigned. It is probably best to change your shocks along with your stiffer springs. The stock shocks are not designed to handle the travel of the stiff springs, and your car will be really "jumpy." If you want to improve handling, you should upgrade the shocks as well.

YES! or else the tires will be gone. taking apart the cars suspension will mess the geometry up. the camber / caster / toe readings all will be thrown off.

if you have a wheel works, they do alignments for about $70, which includes a year warrenty. so within that year, you can take it back whenever. ive already had it done twice in the past couple months. and i plan to go back a couple more times. and once more right before the warrenty ends.

EXACTLY.
