stock shocks are going to go out on you within a year with those springs. and cost you more than if you just went with coilovers in the first place...find a used set on ebay or the classifieds....check af's classifieds, az, aw, vwvortex....you should be able to find a good set for under a grand easy...i think tom said he got his for 400 bucks....lucky bastard

i run coilovers in the summer and switch back to s4 struts with a4 sport springs for winter. i corner balance the coilovers and don't want to screw with that twice a year. it is also faster and easier to swap the entire suspension than it is to adjust all four corners up the same amount.
a lot of guys that raise their coilovers for winter find that the collars are seized by springtime. if you go this route be sure to liberally apply anti-seize to the threads.

on my kw inox coilovers the aluminum fused itself to the threads. as the collars are turned up or down the anodize wears off and exposes raw aluminum. the aluminum oxidized and that was it. both rear perches had to be cut off very carefully with a hacksaw and a chisel. i got my hands on kw's new perches which are a molded composite material that won't have this problem.
