Stock Springs+Aftermarket shocks=?

I dont want to lower my car, but I want to get new shocks. I am not about to buy regular shocks when I could get nice aftermarket shocks for less. I got under the car and my z has factory looking shocks(they are black)but they have a tokico sticker on them. Did they come factory with tokico shocks? What I am looking to purchase is a set of Tokico hp blue shocks. I dont want adjustable whatever, just a nice set of shocks. With keeping the factory springs, does that present a problem?

Anybody ? I was going to post this same question. Don't tell me you're all running around on the original stock shocks now.

Has anybody tried these?

well, since our old threads got deleted, i cant quote word for word...but when replacing the shocks, it is best to replace the springs at the same time so that one doesnt wear on the other more
so you could just get some new factory springs since you dont want to lower the car(in total a savings of 400 bucks due to camber, not incuding springs or labor)but you will not get the full potential without the sport springs
by the way, i have kyb agx, and ive heard theyre better than tokico, but i havent felt them yet, due to my eibach's and the camber problem

Yes, the Z32 came stock from the factory with Tokico shocks.
It's always highly recommended to change out springs and shocks with new ones at the same time.
