    shocks

    so is it true that if you run stock shocks with lowering springs the shocks explode?:tsk:

    Yes, it is true.

    That is exactly how the M3 got its start.

      they won't explode but right off the bat they will not have enough dampening rate to control the spring so the ride will be very bouncy. Then after a few thousand miles of the shocks being abused (compressed too quickly, along with the lowering springs shifting the used range lower down the shaft) the shocks valving will wear and they will leak/provide little dampening power.

      unless you don't drive the car or you don't give a shit you can't just put springs on a car with oe shocks. It will not improve your handling unless handling means "drive to get groceries".
