    Lowering spring on stock shocks on vert

    I bought 92 vert with 59k miles. Car was driven in summer only. Stock suspension are still good. So I wanted to use lowering spring on stock shocks. What do you guys think? Any suggestion on lowing spring?

    As long as its not a super stiff spring rate you will probably be ok. ST has their lowering springs on sale for 99.99 shipped and you can get them for 70 if you offer

      Other options would be Eibach or Vogtland. These would probably be soft enough to not be too bad on stock shocks

          60k on original shocks means that there are close to being completely blown out.So don't bother trying to re-use them on lowering springs. Get a set of Bilstien sport or Koni sport shocks to go with the springs. If you don't change the springs, go ahead and replace the shocks as they are due for replacement at this point.
          The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.
