Default Tein S Tech springs with stock shocks?

Wuts up all? I just got some tein s tech springs for my is. I was wondering if anyone knows if it would be alright to use them with the stock shocks? I didn't know if my shocks would hold up or not.

It depends on how many miles you have on your stock shocks. BUT~ the life of the stock shocks will be shortened greatly.

I would suggest upgrading the shock/spring at the same time, but I know sometimes that doesn't fit into the budget. It is nice to only have to do it once though...

Good luck, and the Tein S-techs will look really nice!!!

I agree that you should upgrade the shocks at the same time. It will be alright to use the stock shocks, but they will wear very fast and will have to be replaced. Either you will eat up more labor costs or your own labor if you do it yourself later. As mentioned before, it all depends on your budget.

If I were you I would get in contact with Apex84 on this forum. He has Roadmagnet springs. He has had them on his car for about a year and he has stock shocks and has had no issues. They are affordable and a very good product. Definitely check them out or ask Apex84 for contact info.
