It will only be a matter of time before the shocks blow on you....with the zsp shocks, you may last a little longer, but they will blow.

The reason for the crappier ride quality is that the rebound rate of the shocks do not match the lower springs. The sport shocks are overly compressed as is, so putting them on lower springs is not necessarily the best idea....
Well said. I do think the most of the guys out there who have their cars on lease - really doesnt care if they get just lowering springs, cause they'll probably finish their lease in 2 years and turn it in with a blown shock(let the dealer worry about it). Or there are those who just need to lower for now, save some money and later go with a proper coilover or spring shock combo.

Whats more interesting is how the majority of people never really notice that their shock is blown because they get used to the ride after awhile and think its normal.

For the Koni shocks we have them in-stock available here and shipping. Let me know if you have any questions.
