those with lowering springs and factory shocks

I have a base model and I ordered H&R springs and koni shocks. I recieved the spring but not the shocks(its long story,but no I didnt pay for the shocks).. those that just have lowering springs and do not have a R1 or touring model, can you tell me how does your car ride..I would send the springs back and get the shocks but corksport doesnt do that..

SleepR1 runs the H&R springs and the stock R1 shocks. I think you will probably need stiffer shocks than the base/touring to properly dampen the springs.

Need stiffer shocks with H&R sport springs. Need stiffer springs to run with the Bilstein HDs (like the H&R springs).
