I currently have springs w/ stock shocks and they are fine.
They were on the car when I bought it.

Hi Zach... Here are some threads that will assist in your install and some problems you may encounter

Install Issues

rubbing

Alignment

Springs need to settle before aligning

Front vs. Rear

Some new Vibration

Car may lean after some time

I'm interested in getting springs. My car has about 75k miles on and I wanted to see who all in the group has them, and the positive and negatives of the brand they are using.

I mostly want it for looks and want it to ride like stock. I don't track or autox. Advice would be great. Thanks!
