Replace Shocks With Springs?

I've been looking into the eibach lowering springs and I think i'll probably get them over the summer since there is a foot of snow on the ground here, but from what i've been seeing, everyone has said you should replace your shocks too. Is this true? Is there anything else I should replace? And what brands of shocks do you guys recommend?

replace your struts and shocks with konis. you won't regret it down the road
front = struts
rear = shocks

i have the eibach/koni setup and it is an amazing ride

will the koni struts and shocks have a much longer life with eibach's on than the stock struts and shocks?

and could you possibly provide a link to a whole kit (front and rear) for a reasonable price. I can't seem to find it anywhere.

yea dude, fasho. the koni's are performance.
the stock is well... stock haha.
some people ride around on stock struts/shocks lowered on springs and they never blow, others have them blow right away. i just say why not replace them when you already have them off the car?

there are vendors on here that sell them. i bought it from allecotec. great vendor. karo is a great guy to deal with. there are other vendors also, i'm pretty sure turbotech and thmotorsports also sell them. there are probably others too just search around bro. PM me if you have any other questions

just PM Karo and he'll take care of you.
I don't want to post prices or any of that in this thread.
