I had the Eibach 1.3'' drop Pro-kit on my Vtec 1996 lude last year w/ stock shocks. Ouch! Let me tell you something...the ride was SO rough. I sold them. I live in an area where the roads are f... terrible. My advise to you is to stay stock is your have poor quality roads in your area.
IF you have terrible roads around you and really wanna drop your lube, you need to change both shocks and springs. But you'll look like a superball on the Highway.
