dampers for lowering springs
I've decided I want lowering springs for my 3GS, because since I only intend to keep my 3GS for 3 years, I cannot justify the cost of coilovers. Now, I can't find any matching sport dampers for springs like Tanabe NF210 or Eibachs.
Since it is best practice to replace the dampers with matching ones while switching to lowering springs, my question is: what dampers do you recommend? and where can I get them online?
If there is none available, is it safe to use the stock dampers? Yeah, it should be safe, but what I meant is would it shorten the life of the dampers? And would the suspension bottom out easily with the stock dampers?
Those with Tanabe NF210, please chime in your thoughts and experience.
Thanks!

i rather get coilovers though. you will end up replacing shocks eventually, paying twice for installation. your ride will feel more stable & confident through the turns too. only if they were available for awd..
