I just bought H&R springs to lower my Aveo and was wondering from others who already put springs on there car if they put new shocks in right away. If not did that affect your shock life a whole lot?.......premature wearness on the stock shocks because the car sits lower?
i pt h&r's on my aveo hatch a long time back and never changed the shocks....im still using those same shocks at 62,000 miles and seem fine with no obvious change...but still any lowering is going to effect the stock shocks and it depends on how you drive and where u driveQuote:

I put the front springs on and the struts were so warn that one of them couldn't even hold up its own weight. This is with 20 sum thousound miles on the car. The rears were toast at 10,000 miles.
That said, the ride is ok, but I would highly recommend changing the struts and shocks... Now with that said, you can get rear shocks but KYB does not make the front struts yet. I wouldn't get OEM struts as they are only good for 20k so really whats the point.
I live in Vegas and we have a lot of road construction which is very hard on suspension.
KYB does make front struts now...Quote:
