will it give me pretty stock ride? not looking to lower or stiffen the suspension

 

When you lower a car, there is no way the ride will be like "stock". The springs will have higher rate and the ride will be more firm. However, H&R doesn't lower as much as Eibach or Tein-S-Tech. The more you lower it, the less suspension travel left and the harsher the ride will be.

I've tried Eibach before the H&R and I don't like it when my upper jaw and lower jaw are fighting against each other on the freeway.

If you want to keep you stock ride, just replace the struts and call it a day. Tokico might be a good replacement but they will wear out faster than Koni. The metal that they used to contruct their piston is also not as hard as Koni. I'm telling you all these from my personal experience that I've had with Tokicos, both blue and Illumina, and the Koni that I've already sold. Toks are POS IMHO.

 

^^ to changing out just your shocks.

I am still on stock shocks but it seems like most everyone on here preaches about the tokico Illuminas.

 

I hope the axles you already purchased are from Raxles, because if they're not, it's just a waste of money.

 

where can you get a nice quad set of shocks? Anyone got them from the dealership if so how much was it total, install and shocks.

 

I wouldnt buy from the dealership.

edit: Or have them install.

 

seriously....check the stickies and/or search. There is more than enough information on this topic out there to keep you busy reading for weeks...
