quick suspension Q
this is a pretty basic question, but since i have virtually zero experience with suspension work (besides oem replacement) i need to ask: I will be purchasing some tein s-tech spring very soon to go on all four corners. i still have oem-spec shocks (they were replaced ~10k miles ago and are in great shape). my question is, do i need any other adjustments (camber and such) or can i just do a direct swap with these teins? thanks in advance. btw, the car is an 86 gxl WITH AAS. however, the previous owner told me it was disabled when he replaced the shocks/spings??

oem shocks with AAS tend to be expensive (and rare?), which explains why the previous owner "disabled" them..put in ur springs, get compatible shocks (RB, KYB, Blues...etc) and get an alignment

direct from the tein website: "Designed to be used with OEM or OEM replacement shocks. "
i will be upgrading sooner or later to either tokico blues or illuminas but for now i just want to run them on the shocks i have. what i need to kno is if i just swap the teins with the oem springs without any other alterations (pilow mounts or camber plates or whatever.
