Lowering with Springs without changing stock shocks

[Anonymous]

Well, thats what I did.

55.000km I changed the stock springs with H&R ones. Ride got much more lower then 3cm and stiff as rock, but I like the feel (it's a sport car!!)

Now I have 77.000km and i was wondering how my shocks are doing.

Most people adviced to change them as 77.000km are enough for stock shocks. If you consider that I have changed springs as well, then it is for sure time to change stock shocks.

But before I change them, today I visited a "status shock checker" machine at a local garage.
I did a full test and I have the machine reported that rear shocks are 70% working and front are 60%.

This is absolutelly perfect for the mileage.
Shocks need changing when they are about 40%.

The  workman there told me that in any way I do not need to change the shocks, they are doing fine.

This is my little experience today, so I thaugth i'd share it with you!
