i am looking in to lowering my car. i have decided on springs not coilovers and my question is can i install lowering springs without putting in new shocks. if yes do i need aftermarket shocks or will factory shocks suffice?

KYB struts/shocks ARE oem.
Just hold off on installing until you have an extra $225ish for the KYB stuff, that way you're not doing two uninstallations and two reinstallations. -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money

Just hold off on installing until you have an extra $225ish for the KYB stuff, that way you're not doing two uninstallations and two reinstallations. The KYB GR2's area also warrantied to be lowered up to an inch and a half, so there's a little bit of a safety net there. Otherwise, all I can say is what has already been said, that you CAN put lowering springs on factory struts, but they'll wear out a lot sooner. -------------------- "Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others labored hard for." -Socrates.
