S-tech springs, stock R1 shocks

I've got a set of S-tech springs, and a set of stock R1 shocks. I also have a set of koni yellows, but I got shipped the wrong set, so I can't use them.

Anyway, until I get another set of shocks, would the R1 shocks be okay with the S-tech springs?

Thanks

I wouldn't do the swap yet. The reason is, you'll have to do all the same labor all over again when you get the shocks. IMO, just wait until you have the right shocks and do it all at once.

All of the rubber upper mounts are completely trashed, and one of them has a bolt that spins freely. I have to take them apart anyway

And it turns out I have the right konis, P/N-wise. Just...the bushing where they mount to the LCA on the front is about 2mm too wide. Weird.

Nevermind, I'm just a moron about suspension.

The bushing isn't too wide. The sleeves on the aluminum LCA are in too much is all. Konis going on with the springs then
