How bad..... or is it even bad at all........ to use stock springs with performance shocks. I ask because of the snow up here in Toronto. Pretty much I would like to lower my car (with shocks AND springs) for the warmer months..... knowing that I can change the lowering springs back to stock springs in the winter.

 

Not a damn thing wrong with it, your car will be just fine Who knows you may even like the ride better with the stock springs and adjustable struts better

 

It's not bad at all, it's bad if you reverse the idea, stock struts on lowering springs.

All you'll notice is a slightly stiffer ride depending on the strut you choose.
