Default Re: lowering springs

oops...forgot to mention. I have the Euro Blueline springs at all four corners. Found them on eBay new for $75! You will be pleased with the ride if you do the rears only. Speed bumps take a bit of care in the front but I don't even think about the rear at all. No concerns at all.

I -highly- recommend firmer shocks when putting stiffer springs on a car. The rear end gets squirrelly in rough turns with stiffer springs and stock shocks. The stock shocks can't control the stiffer springs and you get all sorts of jostling and bouncing. The lack of control is disconcerting when you hit a rough section in a circular onramp and the rear end wants to become the front end. Go ahead and do the rear shocks along with the springs. Don't think about it, just do it! I bought KYB GR-2 shocks for the rear.
