Default BUT i recommend you do both at same time. what springs? and also, u installing or shop (more)?

as you know, with springs and shocks, you want them to match up.

with many springs (only), you will wear out your stock shocks quicker.

if you are installing, then i would say toss up b/t doing springs only now and doing springs and shocks.

if you are having shop do it, think of labor cost added when you have to go in and replace stock shocks.

i am not sure why you are doing springs only, but if it is a money issue, then i would say wait and get a good spring and shock matchup.

hth

take care.

Default in response to your earlier post......i have eibach's......

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/71155/picture_010.jpg"></center><p>and I think its too low (24.5" fender lip to ground) but I run 245/35/18 without rolled fenders and no rubbing. Negative camber is major with this ride height though and its tough on front tires.

Default 3rd. If you're having a shop do it, definitely save up for new shocks too. Otherwise you're just

throwing money away on the labor cost.
