Default Eibach Lowering spring

I just got a deal on some lowering springs for my 88 mustang and I want to install them. One question I have is what kind of shocks do i have to buy so i don't blow my current one with the lowering springs installed?

I'm still running stock shocks on my 88' with Eibach springs......ride is just fine, no squeaks or bumps.

I guess it would depend how aggressive the drop is mine is only about 3/4". I only put around 1000 miles a year on my car but it's been about 5 years since the install with no issues.

It would be a great idea to get a CC kit. You don't have to buy new shocks and struts but if you have the cash might as well get a new set in there while you are working on it. Nothing special is needed just new.
