Well, just bought some Tanabe performance shocks to tighten up the ole GS4 suspension a little.

My question is can I install these performance springs in place of my stock springs as a direct swap? OR do I also need to replace the shocks as well?

I realize its optimal to get both but want to know if I can just do the springs now and the shocks later as I get the $$.

Thanks for the feedback.

 

umm your post is confusing. you said you bought shocks, and then you asked if it's ok to replace just the springs?!

i suppose you said you just got the tanabe springs?

anyway, you can do just the springs, but first it will damage the stock shocks very fast, coz' it's very soft and cant stand the lowering, and second your ride will suffer coz' now the rebounce rate is so off from factory

personally i would get some stiffer after market shocks too to compliment the springs

 

Definitely agree with you Rominl on this, save the time and money and do it right the first time why go threw that headache. Then do it all over again just my .02 worth to you.

 

Yes...sorry. I meant springs. Thanks for the feedback guys..

 

Amen to the above. It will also cost you double (and labor is at least $250) if you do either springs or shocks and then add the other half later.
