Default Spring Install

Hi, I just got my 19/60 springs delivered, my Bilstein shocks are still on back order.
Could I replace my existing 14/55 while using the shocks that came with my 2012 2dr sport? Or would the springs be too much for the shocks?

You should be fine as the springs shouldnt be much longer, they are just stiffer than the ones you have now.
Only thing is you have to remove stock shocks to get the springs out, so youre gunna have to remove the shocks again a second time

They are longer springs, you only have to take the bottom bolt out of shocks to drop axle enough. Your ride will be harsh, as your stock shocks will be almost extended all the way....I would wait if I did it again
