Get Eibach Pro-kits; they'll work with the stock shocks.
What's your milage, anyway? If it's over 90,000, I'd say
replace the shocks as well, unless it's already been done.

Ground control coilovers require seperate struts. Stock struts will suck(blow out) with anything other than stock springs. Good luck has been had with KYB AGx's and spring rates of 300 front, 200 rear. Dont plan on droping more than an inch though as you will bottom out like mad.

Check your IM. You have a better car; mine has a GA only .
Once it's paid for, though, I'll make a "killer sleeper" with
an SR20DET .

If you've cut your springs, I would definitely suggest getting shocks/struts as well when you purchase the springs. Cutting your springs will destroy your shocks/struts in short order. No sense in keeping them on the car anymore with the new springs.
