8th Generation Honda Civic Forum - View Single Post - New Springs on Stock Shocks....Any Problems?

07k20si · 03-15-2007, 01:15 AM

I don't have the cash to drop on coilovers, so my I'm looking into buying new springs. My concern is, will the stock shocks blow out with lowering springs? How long will the shocks last if they will blow out? Also, how low can I drop the car without needing camber kits?

Sorry for all the questions, but this is the first car I'm modding. Will I need an alignment after the installation of the springs? Finally, how much should I expect to pay for the installation.

Thanks,
Amit
