I've heard from some people that if you buy coilovers without buying new shocks, that your stock shocks will be fried in less than 6 months. Just curious as to what you guys think about that. I'm not about to spend 1 grand just to lower my car a couple of inches with a true coilover set when i can spend like 100 bucks on lowering springs.

Lowering springs without shocks is just asking for trouble.
Your shocks will fail earlier, and you car will ride and handle awful in just a few short months.
WHen installing lowering sport springs, install shocks at the same time.
You can purchase kits around the $500-600 range. You don't need to go all out and get coilovers.
