you're gonna need to change the stock shocks eventually if you drop it. might as well do it as the same time, it'll save you lots of labor (money or time)

When I got mine on the shop I was taking it to wanted 1100 to do it. I ended up getting somebody I race with to do it for 250. But me and my friends put them on one of my buddies car and it took most of the day.
