New Springs

I just got a set of eibach pro kit springs, just the springs. Everyone i talked to said i have to replace the shocks and struts to use the springs but i didnt think i had to. I know its a good idea cause i already have the shock and strut out but do i have to, or are people just dumb. :bs:

You don't physically have to, but the stockers aren't going to last very long. You're really just delaying the inevitable.

Absolutely correct.

ok thanks what kind of springs should i go with i was thinking kyb agx's or gr2.

That all depends on what you want to do with the car.
I recently removed the KYB AGXs and H&R Sport springs from my car, and they performed well all around.

I don't think you will need performance shocks with the ProKit. Pro kit spring rate is very low. It starts off stock uncompressed, and has 25% increase over stock at full compression, which is practically nothing. I think you will be able to get away with using stock shocks and struts for a while. If you want to do some kind of performance driving, such as track days or HPDE, you will have to get something else anyway, so don't waste money if you don't have to.
