Are 99 sport shocks good combination with Eibach pro springs?

Default No.

Because they're 4 years old, and most likely have way too many miles.

Look into new shocks.

Default MIleage is what matters. Other than that, just check them for travel and return.

The stock sport shocks will be okay, but don't pay too much for them cause you'll probably want to upgrade to Bilstein eventually.

The stock sport shocks are way softer than any aftermarket shock, but they are a lot better than the Uncle Buck style non-sport units.
