Installed Tein S with mine and no problems with my stock shocks. I did quite a bit of research on the springs and there were two primary reasons I went with Tein S: (1) I did not have to replace my OEM shocks, and (2) I did not have to mess with alignments (over 1" drop requires you to do so). PLUS, I picked up my used Tein S for $75!

Cool, I'm feeling better about the tein S already. Just have to install them when they arrived. Won a set off of ebay for $80.00 shipped. I just hope the seller comes through.

Anytime you mess with suspension, like changing the springs or changing the shocks, you should re-align your car. Dropping it over an inch has nothing to do with it. If you drop your car at all, depending on how much and if you don't want to eat up tires, you should get a camber correction kit. Just FYI
^^^^^
But if you stick with lowering 1" max, it's more likely that the camber/toe/.... can be alligned to stock specifications. No real need than for a camber correction kit if it's all within spec again.
