lowering springs and stock shocks

I did a search, but i never really got a complete anwser. how is the ride quality with lowering springs (eibach, mopar, teins, etc) and the stock 300c shocks. Are most people running with the stocks or do most people change the shocks for aftermarket ones.

thanx

The ride quality with aftermarket springs and stock shocks/struts is not that good but tolerable for some. You will find though that the stock shocks will eventually (sooner rather than later) wear out pretty bad since they weren't designed (with the geometry in mind) to sit that low and absorb the misgivings of the road. If you're thinking about getting aftermarket springs then do the shocks/struts at the same time, JMO

Give it time my friends, the stockers will eventually wear out and you will bounce over every bump in the road...

Never, but I'd like to at some point to check it out. I know they need training vehicles in San Diego but I don't have the funds to get the kit set-up that Pedders is offering in the deal.
