I installed them with Bilstein shocks.. Didn't try them with oem shocks.. I am very satisfied with my current set-up.. Great ride handling and stance.. Getting camber kit and #4 pads installed in the near future.. For some reason the driver side rubs under heavy loads..

Oh sounds good. I've tried H&R springs with stock shocks back when I had my Jaguar and the results weren't pretty lol But that's strange. Are your fenders rolled?

Be careful with fender rolling
You have to be handy with a heat gun

And old paint will flake off the edges of the fenders if you arent careful!
