You'll be fine w/ the Pro-Kit and stockers. But, if you want to do the strut/shock thing, I had nothing to complain about with the Pro-Kit/ Tokico Blue's on my 98 Ek hatch. Rode better than stock to me.

Good Luck

If you got the pro kit to lower the ride a bit, then you will want to replace the shocks. Stock shocks will work for a bit, but they will eventually blow out under those conditions.

I've notice that my car sits a little bit higher in the front than the rear will after market shocks even the car? ( I have eibach pro kit springs ).

Chances are that the springs aren't sitting right in the front, which is causing the height difference. Try pulling them out, making sure they are positioned right top and bottom and put the back in. Drive around the block and see how it looks. Eventually you will need new shocks but if your trying to save some money in the mean time, try the above. It would be a good idea to start putting some cash away for some new shocks/struts though.

The struts have nothing to do with ride height. Their main purpose is to counter balance the spring. BTW, KYB struts are around $55 a piece and work great with lowered applications.

i agree,the prokit and kyb strut are good set up,that is what my set up is like and i love the look and ride.the slight gap on the front is not bad at all but i have 15's on.besides the kyb struts are cheaper but reliable set,so if your tight on money like me that would be a good buy.
