By normal, do you mean stock?

You can use the stock ones, but I don't reccomend it. They will not very last long with the new springs. I'd reccomend Bilstein shocks. They are affordable and very high in quality.

Try SLP Bilsteins or Strano revalved shocks for the Eibach front shocks. The regular HD Bilsteins will be worlds better than the stock DeCarbons though.
