Suspension Help please!

My suspension is stock, 23 year old struts shocks and springs. ive been looking into kyb gr2 struts and shocks, and k sport lowering springs.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/130613511759...84.m1423.l2649
those are the shocks and struts^^^^

http://www.carpartparadise.com/lower...rings-set-of-4
those are the springs^^^^

Heres my concern--- Will the kyb struts and shocks be ok with these lowering springs? someone told me that not all shocks and struts can handle lowering springs, it kills some of them. Also what do you guys think about the springs? these are progressive rate just like the eibachs just a lot cheaper, ive heard some people say good things about the brand.

Any advice on what else i would need to do right away other then an alignment after installing these? things that i should do to prevent damage..... to the new parts or to other suspension parts

Re: Suspension Help please!

the kyb's should handle a mild drop, a lot of others have used em with good results.

don't know much on the springs, will have to wait for someone else to chime in

Ok cool,thanks! i was a little worried about the shocks and struts not handling the drop, the drop is 1.75 front and back, shouldnt be much of a problem right? And as for the k sport, i know the import and tuner guys are more familiar with it and say theyre as good as eibachs, but i hope someone on here comes and confirms that lol

Also is it necessary for me to get the adjustable panhard bar, and the lca relocation brackets? its going to be my summer cruiser, i wont be racing with it, if anything maybe a little fun on the highway but nothing serious. i know an alignment is a must, im just worried about all the other parts which would bump the price up quite a bit....
