Well I guess my initial question was answered: you can run aftermarket springs in conjunction with the stock AAS system but some people feel the system itself sucks and is better off removed (among other systems). I guess close thread?

yes because it will physically work.

no because the aas and stock shocks are not designed for lowering springs, therefore you would be advised to upgrade to kyb or the like which is designed for stuff like that a bit better. This would delete the system.

If you want to put springs on the AAS shocks, then power to you, it will work.

Agreed it will work but the shocks will be under constant load unless the new springs dont drop the car at all, which will blow them faster, as far as i know there are no replacements for the aas shocks

Nope, just stock, and for the price, I'd rather get AGX's or Illumina's. he car will be dropped on Racing Beat springs and either of those struts. I'm just looking around for the best prices...

Where do the Stances have independent rebound and compression adjusters? I only see one adjuster, unless I'm missing something.
