I just installed some Eibach Pro springs on my car. It looks a 100 times better with a more aggressive look. Only problem is scrapping the bottom sometimes, even on dips in the road. It also feels a little bouncy at speeds over 100 mph, which it didnt before the install. Can I get away with the stock shocks with this kit? Any input is greatly appreciated!!

The rebound / compression rates on the stock struts and shocks are not matched to the new springs... so... a little see-saw action on some bridges and over-passes, and possibly a lot of motion on dips and bumps in the road. FFRP Struts / Shocks can be had for as little as $349.00 plus shipping. And I have also seen the Tokico adjustables for as little as $500.00 on Flea Bay.
