   as title says really just bought some koni springs and are wondering should i wait and try and get some good dampers or will they run fine on standard dampers?

   You'll be fine on standards, I used standards on my apex 35mm springs, and it was fine

   you could get away fine with using standard shocks. I had standard shocks on 35mm eibach springs and the ride was fine.
   
   Ofcourse things are always better on aftermarket shocks...

   As above really;
   
   Recommended - Yes, well worth it if you can afford them
   Necessary - No, standard dampers will be fine at 35mm
