Springs with Factory Shocks?!

[tk-4]

hi all, been lurking and posting sporatically on this forum. really appreciate all the help i got from members on this forum when my top got stuck in the open position this past summer, so thanks again.

anyways, i'm just wondering what ppl's thoughts are about installing lowering springs w/o changing the factory shocks. i've heard that it's not the best route to go and would appreciate whatever feedback anyone has to offer.

if this route is do-able and doesn't cause damage to the car, what kind of springs do you folks recommend (e.g. H&R, Eibach, etc.).

thanks again for you input
