it's probably a good idea to get the performance struts, as the lowered springs put a bigger load on the stock struts, and they will give out much faster than with the stock springs. i guess if you've been ok so far, than you probably will be, but not for too much longer, i would imagine. if you have the $$, get the struts.

I did see that Jack (jdmwerks) was selling a set of tockico blues on ebay that were listed as fitting the 2002's. Maybe shoot him an email and ask.

struts make a big diff.....when you hit pot holes, the stiffer struts will make you stick to the pavement.....with only springs and old struts, the ride will be bouncier, and if you hit potholes at high speeds while turning, you'll feel like you're loosing control....

just do it all at once....
