because i'm kinda on a tight budget i was going to buy some lowering springs. now i know that i should pair these with aftermarket shocks but don't know if i can afford them till later. so my question is how long can i ride with my lowering springs with the stock shocks?

 

You can expect to blow the shocks out quickly and it will handle terribly and most likely bottom out a lot. Simply put, go with shocks and springs together, or nothing at all.

umm no, you can put a few thousand miles on them before the things blow on you. Or get some shocks of ebay for like $150...

 

hmm? still kinda unsure. could i please get a lil more feedback from some others?

 

it can depend on how many miles you have on your struts... typically the older they are, the quicker they will blow. but sometimes board members say they've gone a year+ with no problems with an older car... while others will last a month with a newer car. just depends on how lucky you are.

 

i went about 5000 before my stock shocks totally blew out. i would wait a couple months and save for shocks, it will be a pain in the *** to take them of again to put new shocks again. do it at the same time.

 

yeah i think ill just save up and wait to buy the springs and shocks together. thanks for all the help.
