Should be fine with the oem dampers(shocks). Eibach sportlines are not overly stiff and since your car is not SLAMMED, it should be fine. Try it as is.

If you don't like it, go with some koni yellow adjustables or similar.

^ If you install hight adjustable collars when you swap out the springs, you can raise the car back up for winter, instead of swapping out everything each season. Will save you a lot of time and money.

^They look like that (only not cut-up). They sit on the lower spring perch and the spring sits on the threaded collar. They may require some moddification to the factory spring perch to make these work...

How mechanically inclined are you?
