Default Springs and shocks

If you're putting in lowering springs like the eibach kit or the FMS kit on summitracing, do you have to replaces the struts too, or can you leave the stock ones on?

I believe you can leave the stock ones in, but you are better off just changing them all at once

I would change them while your in there. It will cost around a 100 bucks for the rear and 175 for the front. Get lakewood 50/50 rears and 70/30 fronts, decent bang for the buck. The car will come out of the whole better too.
