Tokico D-spec shocks with stock springs

Okay so I need some new shocks in the rear and I have always been impressed with the tokicos and I can get a rear set for a good price. The main question I have is if I replace the old shocks with these ones and keep the stock springs will the car keep the same ride height? Has anybody measured the stock rear shock length to see if they are the same length as the aftermarkets ?

Thanks guys
Ryan

If the stock springs are not changed, I am almost certain that the ride height will remain the same. However, there have been reports of Koni Yellows lowering the car a very small amount--I do not remember how much--but I have not heard of Tokicos lowering a vehicle.

I have no experience with them, but I have heard that KYB are excellent shocks.

Great , just what I wanted to hear. I have been leaning towards the kyb's just from everything I have been reading and they aren't going to break the bank either
