Default Are there any springs that will work on the stock shocks?

So it looks like the MTM spring are not so suited for the stock shocks.
How about the Eibach Pro-Kit?
Or do I need to scrap my plans of a spring only upgrade?

Any spring only upgrade will wear out the stock shocks, get coilovers if you want to.

Default Stock shocks are very good but for other than Eibach springs get shocks!

IMO the spring rates of the MTM, H&R, Neuspeed & Hypercoil are greater than stock enough to necesitate correspondingly higher rebound damping for proper balance.

I've made up a spring rate chart, email me if you want it. I cant' stress enough how important it is to be sure one makes the correct decision on suspension components to suit their needs.

Happy Hunting!<p>David
