Is putting springs on stock shocks a good idea? If so any suggestion on brands?

u can but they can blow out faster than aftermarket shocks..and depends on how low the drop is on the springs

anything aftermarket on stock shocks is a bad idea. just wait, and spend more money when the time is right.

not to bust your balls... but is this a new trend... aftermarket w/ stock parts...

Just a waste of cash if you actuall do this...

it is a trend, but a bad one at that. if you go aftermarket, go all the way

I have springs on my stock shocks. They work fine. Been this way for over a year. 1.7in drop. Nothing too extreme, but my friend had his DA9 slammed on stock shocks and they went for 2 years before going. Plenty of time to save up for a nice setup like Teins.

itll go for awhile, it will just ride like shit. Honestly the best bet is to just wait and do it all at once when youve got everything apart.

Lowering a car more than an inch on stock shock is a bad idea. Not only will the shock itself bottom out but the valving is incorrect for the stiffer spring rates that most aftermarket "performance" springs offer. Depending on what you are looking to do with the car should factor in the choice of shocks as well.

Honestly, they really aren't that great in my opinion.
