Hey I was wondering If there was anyway you could lower your car while keeping the stock struts and shocks in. If you can, which springs would allow me to do this?I posted the same question the other day but it wasn't answered. If anyone can give me some suggestions I would really appreciate it, thanks guys.

Any springs will will work, for a while. The struts will blow sooner or later.

If your paying labor charges for the install, it probably makes sense to do springs and struts at the same time, rather than paying same labor charges twice.

if u have SE shocks, maybe it won't blow for awhile. i know nadir has his eibach on his stock SE shocks and for awhile and it seems okay.

but definetly not GXE. go get yourself KYB GR2s, they are A++.
