yes or no??

 

No! I would return the HP and buy good shocks. I had HP Blue's and just replaced all of the with KYB GR-2s on all 4 corners because HP Blues..Blew with lowering Springs Eibach Pro. (Yes bump stops where cut down) I live in Eastern PA and the Rodas can me harsh, but still they did not really last longer that an year. Yes I drive my car very hard and I have a FSB and Rear Sway Bar. I like to hug the road and not have to lay off the throttle in the corners. My car sits the same with the KYB's as it did with the HP Blews but it now rides softer and is very close to stock feel but rides on rails,,,,

 

Get Illuminas. Kyb Gr2 are not a high performance shock either. Hp are a high performance shock but I don't think they go well with lowering springs. I don't believe KYB warranties there shocks if you use lowering and Tokico does to a certain lowering standard.

 

I did not cut mine and have not had any issues.

 

since i can't post yet and we're on this subject... is there not any rear camber kit? i dropped my car with progress springs and looked all around and only found front ones.. i end up getting the ingalls camber but was wondering if my tires would wear out..

 

I would have used Illuminas or Koni's if I had it to do all over again. Yes, I do agree with Boondoxmax "KYB does NOT warranty there shocks if you use lowering springs" ...but my machanic would have taken care of that for me.
HP Blew = poor mans performance shock...save your cash and do it right the first time, learn from my mistake.

Yes I will be switching struts and shocks again to one of the above "top shelf" performance adjustable shock when some play cash rolls in to my accounts. lol I am currently working on B-Pipe and some FrankenCAR toys now.
