[QUOTE="6UE5t, post: 1064339080, member: 103722"] Yes you can still combine sport lower springs with std shocks most of the time but not all. Many sport springs are designed to be compatible with the std shocks as they have only slightly higher/stiffer spring rates (the best example I've used so far is the Tanabe NF series). Eibach Pro Kit also still can even though it's a bit stiffer than Tanabe NF. However some sport springs have very high spring rate/stiff and therefore might result in overpowering the dampening capability of your std shocks and hence you get bumpy/bouncing ride quality and your absorbers will get overworked and will get broken much sooner. Btw actually the sequence should be to change springs first before big rims, because finding the spring that match one's car is much more difficult than choosing rims. So once you find the right spring to match your car, only then you find the rims that can fit your car after it's lowered so you'd not risk scrapping the fenders with your tires/rims. If rims first like now, then when you find the spring to use, but then can still risk the tires scrapping the fenders etc, but you already pay a lot of money for your rims, so get stuck. :) But if you buy adjustable coil over kit, then would be less of a problem.
