many thanks!

Are you asking us how it feels going from aftermarket to stock?

[ecplb]

yes and also any harm to the stock absorber?

it will wear out you stock abosrber much faster than if it has a stock spring. You're pretty much putting more weight on the shock because now the spring is sitting lower.

Most people upgrade their shock when they do their springs. In addition lowering your car takes your wheels from thing |--| to this \--/ because your lowering yoru center of gravity but keeping the same pivot points that are on your car. So in most cases this causes abnormal inside tire wear. YOu might want to consider getting a camber kit to correct this in addition to your springs/shocks (struts) hope that helps

thanks! very useful info.

Actually, I bought a set of black KYB absorber which is more less the same setting as original and i decided to buy a set of cheap lowering spring. would that be a good idea to put them up together? if not, which spring should i use for the set? I just want the car lowed with the safety condition.

many thanks
