Default tein springs with stock shocks?

i have a 350z with stock shocks and springs with about 70,000 miles. I want to get these tein springs: http://www.redline360.com/tein-stech...0z-SKP26-AUB00 does anyone know if these will be ok with stock shocks?

if not, can anyone recommend some shocks that won't break the bank?

thanks

If u follow ur link and scroll Down it answers ur question. Yes u can use them with stock shocks. That's what they are designed for. Unless ur shocks are worn, there should b no worries

70K on your shocks, time for new ones. Replace the shocks with your springs

Just get some Tociko's shocks with your springs. The blue one's are pretty good. There is a adjustable set that are are a bit more pricey.

I put the S Tech springs on my car this year. 90k on stock shocks.

First mod I'm doing come spring time is new shocks. At first the car rode great but I feel like over the course of the summer it just went downhill. I'd recomend doing some new shocks at the same time.

I mean yeah, they probably ride decent and dont have any obnoxious problems that the ear can hear. But OEM shocks SHOULD be replaced around 55k miles. If you aren't having problems, great! But my rear shocks were leaking and 1 blown and I didn't even know it.
