just as a warning to dropping your car on your stock shocks, I did this to mine a while back cause I was on a budget, but I am experiencing some coil binding now. I think its cause the springs were taking most of the "shock" that my worn shocks were not absorbing at all. after a year the top 4 coils are basically sitting on eachother.
I just hope new shocks will correct the problem, and that I haven't damaged the springs.
these are tanabe nf210's on stock sc300 shocks. be warned!!

So tear it off and relocate the wire harness under it before that goes too.
