Default Aftermarket spring owners on stock shocks/struts...

Did you eventually have to put in new struts and shocks in? Just curious how many people wished they would of done it all at the same time.

No, but my wife wishes I did. LOL, she can't sleep on road trips.

I have absolutely NO PROBLEM with my Roush springs.

I sure wish I had. I lasted about 2 weeks before I ordered the Tokicos and slapped them on. I dont recommend using stock shocks/struts when switching to aftermarket springs

I ran my stock shocks for a year after lowering with FRPP springs. The car seemed to slam and rattle over everything. Koni STRT's took care of that. Still doesnt ride like a Cadillac of course but its certainly better. It would have been much more time efficient to do everything at once and i would have saved money on the second alignment, but it wasnt in the finances. If you can afford it, do it all at once. You'll have to buy those shocks sooner or later. Thats a fact.

I changed all of mine at the same time. I bought the FRPP kit form CDC.
