yeh ur best off gettin the dampers as well..coz if u just get he springs it will eventually nacker the shocks so might as well jus uprate em.

thats up to you some people change the full suspention others just do the spring
id always reccomend having dampers to match the springs as the standard dampers are keyed to work with the standard springs,
change em and you will wear em out in a short time!

and loweing 40/40 should cause any problems in regards to wheels rubbing (unless you have massive wheels or have really fat mates)

I say yeh u probably could - some people never replace their dampers and the suspension will xope for a couple of years like that. Having sed that tho couldn't you just wait a few weeks till u can get the dampers aswell and fit it all at once just to be on the safe side?
