best to do the whole lot. if the springs are just changed in time the shocks will be knackered and you will have to take it all apart again. i have heard that you can get away lowering the car 30mm with standard shocks, any lower and the shocks should be changed. look on kams site for shocks, will be worth it in the long run.

get a full kit from kam-racing.co.uk
and replace anything that looks tired or worn out.
