Default Tein S.Tech Springs + shocks?

hey fellas, i have a set of s. techs coming and i was wondering is it worth the money to switch out the shocks as well and if so what type do you recomend? i would have gone for the coilovers but no matter how i look at it i just don't have the money. thanks for the help.

There's a bunch of threads regarding this and a lot of people switch out the stock rears for Monroes. Which is what I did. The stock shocks with the S-techs made for a stiffer ride than I could live with on a daily basis. I take a lot of crappy brick roads and square edge bumps were very harsh. I switched to Monroe 5870's and it really improved the ride. Another choice in the Monroe family are the 5987's.

I have ridden the stock shocks with S-techs for over two years---the ride does not bother me at all. Many have reported they like the Monroes so you should do a search.
