Do you recommend any shocks/struts to combine with your product? Or will these Springs bolt up to the stock shock/strut?

***Side note: this may be a super noob question, BUT I have only owned a speed3 for 3 weeks! *** Thats my excuse and i'm sticking to it! Thanks for the info!

We always recommend upgrading the shocks and struts. That is why we offer a kit for everything. That being said they will work with your factory setup.

I'm very pleased with my CS springs on Koni Yellows. Have about 8K miles on them and they look great and give a nice drop without a harsh ride.

Same here, I love the Koni yellows with my Cobb Springs. Set the rears to mid and the fronts to plus 1 from mid. It is one of the best setups in my opinion. I might set the rears to 1 pus mid.... because semi racecar

And if you want that tucked look, just put three people in your backseat...

Pardon my ugly ass stockers. Had to switch my rear wheels as my Motegi's were rubbing hard.

Another noob question for you: do I need the lowering springs with the 15-way adjustable shocks. My stock shocks are blown, i want the 15-ways, but not sure if I need the springs as well...?

Springs are cheap and since you'll be under there already swapping out struts/shocks, just do both and be done with it. You will thank yourself as soon as you drive off.
