i think you mean...."does anyone upgrade their springs using stock shocks?"...and the answer is yes...the lower you drop and the harder the spring the faster the stock shocks wear out so the more you pay for installations when you have to replace the blown shocks if you don't do it yourself

eibach pro kit
tein h tech
h&r sport

i believe these are the only ones made for OEM shocks

the h&r's drop less than an inch. not even worth it, IMO.

if you set on stock shocks i'd just go for the pro kit.
