Default New Springs
Hey guys I got some new Eibach pro springs for x-mas. My mechanic said my stock shocks would be ok. Is he right or wrong? Since it is going to cost $250 bucks to put them on I want to be sure they are going to be good enough. Thanks

The stock shocks/struts will be fine for a while. You can replace them later with fox body shocks/struts, as they are a little shorter.

You can save $ by installing them yourself, btw.

As long as they don't have too many miles and abuse, should be fine

I got cheap DZSport gas filled for $200. Fox body units should be cheaper.

Deffinately install the springs yourself, and spend that 250 on somethin else. Its not hard.
