Question Lowering Springs

If you install the T1r s-coil springs to lower your Ralliart, do you also have to replace the stock shocks since the travel height is now lower?
I like the way the car looks when it is lowered, but I don't want to sacrifice the ride quality.
Am I asking for too much? Does one just have to accept a stiffer ride when lowering their car?

Very common concern. The drop that these springs provide shouldn't be a major issue for the stock shocks now if it was a 2" drop then yea. From what ppl have been sayin is that the RRM springs feel like stock but i am not sure about these.
Here is some more info on them https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/09...m-springs.html

wow that looks really well! that's good to hear that the ride is similar to stock still, but since you are lowered and the springs are stiffer do you feel more bumps when you hit em?

Ofcourse you feel more bumps when you hit them, you gotta take it slow over huge bumps and pot holes. But its worth it for the ride on the high way and in the turns... But you will feel more bumps with every sping you can get.
