If I buy Drop Zone lowering springs, can I still use stock shocks and struts? This is for an 85 gs.

Why isn't the question. Because I do. Why do you thank a girl in an RX8?

I went with Racing Beat springs & Tokiko Illumina shocks for mine.I think it dropped it an inch, but it's a solid ride now.

Replacing the springs without replacing the shocks is just asking for trouble. You're not gaining anything, just improving the car's stance a little. Why do all that work just to improve the car's stance and put more stress on the shocks?
