you can, and i think thats what i may do for a while, but i think it kinda makes the springs useless aside from appearence then. im not 100% on this though.

I belive you can get the H&r's from there website. but also check out the stores listed in the good sites thread.


YOu'll be lloking at around $800 to do it right.


Yes you can run them on stock shocks but the preformance will be decreased since they are not as stiff as needed and depending on how lucky you are your stock shocks will last you anywhere from 2 months to I've heard 2.5years.

Springs alone will run you ~360 from H&R

and springs shocks from Neuspeed will run you, well look at the site

I would get coilovers if i were you, that way you can adjust the ride height anytime you needed to.
