Koni's After doing some research, i realized that i really need to shell up the extra cash and go with koni's, instead of getting the KYB AGX's. My question is that after i purchase the koni's, i will not have enough money to get springs right away. Is it fine to lower the car with koni's on stock springs? I will be getting the Koni 4/3.
BTW, i will be going with strano springs as soon as Sam gets more in, and i can save up a little more cash.

Changing the front shocks isn't exactly a "day at the beach", since you have to compress the springs and remove them, and the retainers from the OE shocks anyway. I'd wait until you had both the shocks and springs and then do the job one time instead of two.
If the time difference between when you want to change shocks and when you will add the springs is short, then I'd also recommend just waiting a little bit so you can kill two birds with one stone.
If you want to do one at a time, you know about the koni lower spring perch modification right?

Oh its really not that bad. I did mine and it took 30-45 minutes per side. Granted it would be easier to do it all at once but it wont kill you to do it twice if you want your new shocks on that day.

I think it's worth it. I drove on Koni's with the lower perch and removed the donuts on the rear springs, drove fantastic like that for 4 months. Then Sam's springs showed up and I put them on, drives even better!
I installed koni 4/3's and did the heater hose mod on the rear.Set the fronts on the lower perch.I kept the stock springs.Also did the strano sway bars instead of the lowering springs.this setup works great for me.My friend used koni's with strano lowering springs. My friends car was too low to get in my driveway,that's why I kept the stock springs.
The koni's are the best shocks hands down.

Koni lower perch lowers the car bout 3/4 in front and the rear isolators in the back offer a similar drop if removed. Stock springs and Konis are a fantastic combo; predictable handling and great ride. The install isn't that bad. I did the Konis first, then the strano springs about 6 months later or so.

I think my stock springs will be fine since they are not really worn out because my car only has 63xxx miles.
