I just wanted to know if these shocks lower the car anymore coupled with their sport springs?

 

No.

No shock absorber will lower a car unless you are going from a gas-pressurized shock to a non-pressurized one.

 

Actually my FSD's raised my car a bit

 

Your struts must have been pretty flat....
mine was no-change....except for the ride!!

 

I just ordered a set of FSDs this week. I've read that Koni recommends using stock springs (non-lowering) with them. I have 60,000 miles on my MCS currently and the driver side front OEM shock is leaking. I figured since i'm already, taking out the shock assemblies, what else should I replace? Should I get new springs and shock mounts also?

advice please.

 

I'm a novice here... so replacing the shocks will smooth the ride out? Im currently running h-sport springs on stock shocks. I'm thinking of either going with Megans (cost effective) or just picking up FSDs and using my h-sport springs.

thoughts??

 

Lowering a car can cause very fast shock wear...unless the shocks are a bit shorter, and made for lowering, like the Koni sports...they are like the yellows, but shorter.
With the fsd's, they may fail faster, and leak on a car with lowering springs...the valves get beat up...
Lowering a car with springs is a bit of a hack job...it is easy, but not ideal, and causes problems like tire wear, and geometry problems...IMO if you really want a lowered car, get a set of cheap coil-overs. Thathaving been said, a car can be lowered with springs, if you replace the correct compotents, and get an alighnment.

 

As stated previously, Koni recommends that FSD's be used with stock height springs....
JCW should be fine...they are a mild drop, just like TSW springs, which folks have had good luck with fsd's

 

Had my FSDs and H-Sport lowered springs for over 40k miles - no problems noted or expected.
