The H-Techs don't really give a huge drop so you should be okay for at least a while on them. I ran H&Rs on stock shocks for about 6 months before replacing the shocks. Are you going to install the shocks and springs yourself? If so then you I would just go ahead and order the springs only. If you are going to have them installed by someone else, I would probably wait because you will be paying $100 or more for labor twice instead of once. The drop will be nice, but the handling won't really improve TOO much. I definately noticed a difference with just springs, but the difference is a lot more with aftermarket shocks too.
