I have the money right now to order Eibach pro kit but I gotta save for a while to get shocks and struts. I was wondering if i put eibach pro kit springs on my stock struts and shocks will they blow? or is this even possible?

yes its possible to run with them w/o new shocks and struts BUT it will shorten the life of them b/c they are partialy compressed all of the time. you will be safe to run just the springs but i suggest making new shocks and struts the next purchase along with camber/caster plates to correct the negative camber caused by lowering springs.

If you want the inexpensive way out, like I did....just buy some Fox body shocks.

i mean im going to get bilstien shocks and struts eventually but im so bored cuz i havent done anything to my car in like a month so i need something to do. If i install the springs do i have to go get it aligned right then and there? i thought you didnt need caster/camber plates unless u went over 2inchs... pro kit drops it 1.5 Code whered u get your shocks from?

If you don't mind taking your suspension apart twice then just run the OEM struts/shocks for a while. I would have done the same but a guy gave me a deal on my KYB"s. I am still OEM shocks in the rear and no probs even with the more drastic SPORTLINE springs which are more drop than your prokit.
