   you don't need shocks though standard shocks will be fine with those springs.

   Obviously in an ideal world you'd fit matched shocks and springs. But a lot of people haven;t got the budget for that so they fit the next best which is a quality set of springs.
   
   The Eibach are a quality set of springs so you should be able to manage without for a while. Upgrade the dampers when the o/e ones wear out
