Default Stock shocks with lowering springs...

Whats the deal with our stock shocks? I found a good deal on lowering springs from a buddy but still have my stock shocks. It is a 98 Formula with 60k. I plan on lowering it about 1.25 inches.
Another option is to buy my buddies shocks off his Firehawk with 23k, came with the WS6 setup.

Let me know what you guys think.

A search would turn up sufficient information.

Stock shocks are not adequate for lowering springs.

Proper shocks would be revalved Bilstein shocks or Koni SA shocks.

How about a 1.25 drop with WS6 shocks?

I have Eibach Sportlines with my stock shocks. Its a little bumpy but it handles great around corners and the car sits alot better also.

What do you mean by WS6 shocks off a Firehawk? Firehawks didn't come with a "WS6" setup.

Firehawk might have gotten the SLP Bilsteins / SLP Eibach
combo or factory 1LE package? I don't think either has to
do with the WS6 specifically other than the higher likelihood
that model would be up-optioned?

It can be done, but not for long and you'll be leaving some performance on the table.
