u can used stock shock.....but lower spring will make ur stock shock blown faster and less lifetime ......u can tell the shop to check ur shock when they install the spring......btw have u ever change shock on ur car.......if u never replace ur stock shock......i think u should replace ur shock when u getting spring install....

also, if the spring rate is greater than the shock rate, the shocks will bottom out, creating a very rough ride, and make it very bouncy.
