I don't know what that equals to in miles, but normally people say to replace the shocks and springs at the same time.

What car do you have OP? I am going to assume it is a 4th gen.

If your car has yellow Bilstein shocks it will be okay not to replace them with that low mileage.

If your car has orange DeCarbon shocks they need to be replaced because they are inadequate from the factory.

But keep in mind that no shock is going to ride great with Eibach Sportline springs, some will just ride worse than others. The absolute best chance you have of a good ride is if you use Koni yellow adjustable shocks.
