some ppl say, it is bad to use lowered springs on OEM absorbers, coz they wont be able absorb properly. What do u think about it? but i dont want to overpay for KW suspension, i like the way OEM works, but wanna have it a bit lowered. that's the idea.
Thanx in advance, guys

P.s. sorry for poor english vocabulary, not good at technical part
I ran H&R springs and Koni shocks for a long time. I loved that setup. You can run the setup you listed but I would advise at least changing to a shock that has some adjustment. This way you can adjust the ride a little.

The H&R / Koni setup drops the car the right amount as well as improves the over all ride quality. So you are going the right route for sure. Try the H&R with the OE shocks and see if it is what you want. If not order adjustable Koni's and you will not be disappointed.
