Lowering Springs w/ Stock Shocks = Bad? I am looking to lower my car soon once I get the new wheels on. I am assuming this can be done without changing the shocks... But how long will they last? I know it will be easier to do them both at the same time, but that may not be possible. The road I dirve on is slightly bumpy, is this a bad idea? Thanks.

How many miles do you have on the stock shocks?
You can do it, but the ride is going to suck and cause the shocks are going to wear out much faster. I HIGHLY recommend getting shocks to go with them or shocks instead of springs.
What springs are you looking at getting? With Koni SA fronts and 3rd Gen Bilstein HD rears, you can lower your car 3/4" and 1/2" respectively.
You are also going to need an alignment if you lower your car, so remember that cost, too.
