No it won't. You need to at least get KYB's or Koni's would be preferred. Otherwise, you'll be riding bouncing all over the road. If money is a constrant, have your stockers revalved. I bought the KYB AGX's because their adjustable and cheap. I'm probably going to cut an inch off my bump stops to get some clearance and improve my ride.

Revalved from what I know is to increase the pressure that the check valve release fluid. In other words, increase the shock strut to handle more weight. It may be cheaper to just buy a new set.

I guess you misread what I wrote. I wanted pictures of under your car, of the rear bumpstops to see how much travel you have.
Cutting your bumps stops will risk you blowing out your shocks.
You may get a better ride from adjusting tire pressure, or getting better shocks, or getting lighter/smaller wheels, but the main problem is still not fixed, poorly designed springs.

I yanked out my sportlines and went with the pro kit from Eibach, BIG differance. I have the sportline in the garage and have no hits on craigslist for them....they are for sale to anyone who wants to destroy their ride and handling. So far the Pro Kit is doing good with the Edelbrock IAS Performer shocks and struts

I think it's funny when I read some of these threads and think of a response, but then notice that I already responded like 2 or 3 years ago, haha
