Can I use these shocks with my existing stock springs?

Yes, these ST sport shocks are designed to be an OEM replacement and are application-specific, meaning they are tuned to work perfectly with either ST lowering springs or your vehicle's factory springs.

What makes these shocks suitable for lowered vehicles?

The shocks feature a shortened chrome-plated piston rod. This design ensures a sufficient pre-load of the lowering spring even under hard driving conditions, which is important for maintaining consistent suspension performance when the vehicle is lowered.

What kind of driving experience can I expect with these shocks?

With their fixed damper characteristics and sport tuning, these shocks aim to transform your car's feel and handling, providing a more engaging and responsive driving experience on the street.
