Yes, you do want to get shocks when you upgrade to lowering springs, especially the sportlines, they are a pretty big drop and you may blow out your stock shocks really quick. Also it will ride like ass.

Yea with the stock shocks with aftermarket springs. I think it will make the ride really bouncy. Also the stock shocks aren't ment to be used with lowering springs and as i said they may blow out quick with very little suspension travel. Expect a very stiff ride from these springs, its a pretty big drop.
btw-is this for s13 or s14?

ALIGNMENT.
Get a good 4-wheel alignment when you are done putting the springs on. They should't throw it off too much, but there will be a difference. Also recommended: rear upper control arms and toe links if you really want to get the setting spot-on. Those parts are expensive and you can obviously get by without them.
