My sister has H&R sports w/ stock shocks and it's a pretty stiff ride. I have RS*R springs and it rides very close to stock.

H+R with stock is stiff, but unless there are a lot of bumps in the road its smooth. decent sized bumps will get you bouncing tho

i've heard that you can ride on your stock shocks for a little bit...but by the time you hit around 6 months, the ride starts to get a little bit bumpy...i don't know from personal experience tho, b/c i got koni shocks w/ my setup. i'd probably say, be prepared to upgrade your shocks sooner or later..

so what happens at 6 months? the springs go bad or the shocks go bad?

i'm riding on the eibach prokit with stock shocks... the ride isn't bouncy, but you can feel everything on the road

i know..i bought mine used off steve v..so i saved a bundle...otherwise, i would still be at stock height..or lowered w/ stock shocks.

I love my ground control and koni combo. They absolutely rule. But then, I also push the car to the limits a lot. If youre just riding around town, then some neuspeed sports and any kind of aftermarket strut will do ya like agx or tociko.
