Shocks, Springs, anything else I need?

[MyEclipse5]

like it says. recently I um got something, and it came with a pair of KYB shocks. If i get springs is that all i'll need? Also can i get cheap psrings from ebay, a friend said "springs are springs". do i need a camber kit, or can that wait till i get rims? or should i jsut save up and do all of it at once?

im new to suspension so share your wisdom

To start off with, I'd go smack your friend for telling you that.

Now, springs are not just springs. You need to try and match springs to the shocks that you have for a good combo. If ou get something to stiff you'll blow your shocks. Since your new to the whole suspenion thing I would keep things nice and simply. Just simply get a set that isnt to stiff and a set that wont lower the car to much because then it just starts all new problems. I'd say that you mise well just save up and do as much as you can at once because if you have someone else do all this it will be cheaper. Try searching around here and you'll find some really good info on here about suspensions and that should help you make your choice on springs. I have no experiance with those shocks so I cannot say what springs work best with those shocks. Hope that helps some!
