You can just buy springs, but eventually, you will need struts too.

if youre gonna get lowering springs, replace the struts too - saves time and effort, and eventually youre going to need them anyways

The lower you go, you might need a camber kit. It changes the angle of the strut witch creats more stress on it causes it to blow out.

RESEARCH!

This nas been mentioned at least a 10 times here! PLease use the search feature on TN, its there for a reason...

Yes you have to buy struts and spring all together, if you buy the spring you'll mess up your original struts, and a couple of other things if the springs are well put

when i was asking pple this they said that lowering sprins do a number on your factory struts plus it would save money and time on labor if you do everything at once
