Default Sway bars installed today

Now that I have the Eibach Springs in and the upgraded front/rear sway bars...Should I go ahead an install new shocks/struts now or wait until the stock ones start to go?

Thanks

You will notice a big difference if you swap the OEM dampeners for the matched Eibach dampeners or the high quality (and expensive)
Tokico D-Spec adjustable type dampeners.

Hows the ride with new springs and stock shocks? What differences did you notice in ride quality after installing the springs? Thanks.

The ride feels really stiff and you do feel the bumps a little more....

Adjustable dampers will help, both is the handling and in getting some of the feel to your liking. Handling is great, ride is a little harsher and you do feel more bumps. Worth it? YES (I think so)
