No you don't have to, but most people recommend it. Some people have had problems and some haven't.

You're gonna hafta replace the stockers soon anyway, because a lowered ride will bottom them out. Bottomed out shocks = shitty ride. I know it's only about an inch or so, but it's still not the right travel/rebound for the stock shocks. If it was me, I'd save up and hold off to drop the car until you can do it RIGHT.


Just my $0.03

you = wrong

well, kinda. People keep saying that they will wear out immediatly. Which they will not. I've had my lowering springs (2") in for over a year on my stock struts ('93 to) and i haven't had one problem.
