ok im on a low budget, but everything that i "fix" i improve

so my shocks r bad, i'll get kyb agx

but the question here is can i use stock coils, at least for a while.?

i just thoght about this:

everyone talks about lowering but i consider my ride low enogh, way too many potholes in miami.

would this shocks lower my ride?
eibach springs lower it! do i have to buy ground control if I DONOT want it lower !?
 
it would be nice if you could do the springs also -- but if you dont have the $$ then ya dont have the $$$ -- im sure the stock coils will be fine.
 
You will have absolutely no problems upgrading just the shocks. It's almost preferrable to the weak spring rates that most "lowering springs" have..

Also having driven in Miami, you have no idea what potholes are until you get up here to Boston.
 
you might want to just wait a little longer and budget in the aftermarket springs so you don't have to do the same job twice. You'll save money in the long run; I don't know how many miles on your current springs but I know I wasn't happy when I did just the shocks, just to find my springs were rusted and beat. I ended up putting in B&G springs, they didn't lower my 1g outragously but they took care of the real bad wheel gap that I had. Just some thoughts. :|
