Good rule of thumb...

...to swap out shocks and springs together. Upgrading to stiffer springs will cause your stock shocks to wear out quicker and cause the ride quality to suffer. Better to do it all at once and pay one installation cost rather than two.

Do you remember who confirmed it, I would like to hear how its done...

and if an alignment is needed each time the height is adjusted.
Thanks for the info, didn't know that the Koni's where height adjustable while on the car.

Unless you already have the sport package...

if so, you can simply upgrade the shocks.

The sport package springs have the virtually same spring rate as H&R sports.

Re: I do have sport package,

Your saying I would need to upgrade the shocks, and keep stock springs because they are the same as H&R sport springs?? Doing this would get me lower?
