I would seriously consider saving up the $$$ until you have it to do the suspension properly. Consider how much doin it cheap now will cost later. Think about what you are doing geometrically to your car. With only replacing the springs the following two things will occur:

1) Without Caster Camber plates it will not be possible to get a proper alignment therefore causing premature tire wear.

2) Keeping the stock shocks/struts will put extra load on them from the shorter springs therefore also causing premature wear.

When it comes time for state inspection you will have the burden of replacing the shocks/struts/tires and most likely adding a caster camber plate in response to the lesson learned so it doesn't happen again. Just some advice.

I am running Roush springs. They are a little hard to find but I like them.

They didn't drop the car too much, but it is a very nice stance. I left the isolators in.

Handling is good, and the alignment was still dialed in well without CC plates.

I have Steeda Sports...two things though.

If you replace springs do what everyone here suggests. Get caster camber plates and new shocks and struts.
