I have had no issues so far with the stock shocks and GF210's. You should be OK.
And concerning your other thread about the spacers, I have 25mm on all four corners and no rubbing. This also includes an SPC camber kit to get the rears back into spec, no rubbing at all with factory size wheels/tires.
On a side note...I'm considering doing the spring mount mod to the rear since the wheel gap increased after getting an alignment to adjust the rear camber....I would also like to go with 30 mm spacers on the rear...that is if I dont go with a wider tread.
But all in all, you should be fine with without having to roll the fenders yet.

you're gonna be fine on stock shocks with ANY spring for some amount of time. How long that really is, no one can say for sure.
That being said, I've been on gf210's on '08 stock shocks for 3000 miles, and so far so good. Springs went on around the 21k mile mark. I wouldn't be surprised if they start to feel wacky at 30k tho.

Out of topic, but what was your front camber before and after installation?

as of right now...since I only installed the rear camber kit and haven't yet purchased the front camber arms....my front camber is setting at -1.5 degrees. Which isn't too far out of whack considering specs are -1.3 min--0.2 max.

can i ask you a favor? how much is the under the front bumper lifted from the ground?
the reason i ask is because the slope of entrance to my garage is kinda steep. So i'm not sure if i can go into my little garage without scrapping under the bumper.

Thats actually about perfect for the street , and beginning to be enough for the track. Its should have come from the factory with -1.5 front IMO. No need for a front camber kit.

Thats cause your shocks are blown, stock shocks don't last long with lowered springs.
