If the ride is OK for you and performance is not important just keep the stock shocks until they blow out. Some aftermarket shocks may be engineered with extra suspension travel and won't suffer the same performance degradation and may even improve the car's handling. I haven't looked into it much so I don't know which shocks are best for an 86 on lowering springs.

on my accord i was planning on doing springs and koni yellow's which is what ill probably end up doing on this when the shocks go, Thanks for the insight
