without installing shocks at the same time?

Am I stupid for even thinking this, or is this a pretty good way to go, considering I just bought exhaust and the springs I probably won't be able to afford a new set of good shocks for a while...

ReyHey

if you don't install shocks when doing springs, you'll have to do it all over again when shocks go in!!! (read cost twice as much)

But, the ride should be ok? NE1 else have xperience??

I have H&R Sport springs on the OEM sport shocks.

Keep in mind that this will kill your shocks faster, and the ride will be jumpy over bumps, but other than that I have no complaints..

DIY and spend 2x as much time bonding with your car

Is this something u can do yourself? I didn't think I could.

I installed my springs at a friend's house. Easy, but time consuming.

You definitely need to be comfortable using spring compressors. In the process of compressing the spring to remove it from the shock body, you have a lot of stored energy in the spring. There is a pretty good write up in the Tech section on how to do the spring swap. It also list what equipment you need. Reading through the instructions in the Service Manual for removing/installing springs would also give you an idea of what is in store when changing springs. Good luck!
