    They will work for a while but the Eibach spring rate is higher than the stock sport springs and will prematurely wear out the shocks. If you have the ability to do your own work and enjoy taking your suspension apart go ahead and do it. If you are paying a shop to change it out I would recommend waiting until you have the funds to replace the shocks at the same time.

    Cheers!
