your funny right? 230 bucks is nothing. LOL .. try ebay or find some used springs if u want cheaper. Every now and then someone will sell their springs.

Springtech and Sprint lowering springs are the same thing made by the same company but have different names put on the boxes. Go with the cheaper of the two.

and yes you would need new struts, go with KYB. if you use your stock struts with lowering springs, the struts will be shot in 4 months if not less.

why would they need new struts?

b/c when you have lowering springs your compressing your struts and when you hit a bump they are being compressed even more then when you have no lowering springs so there taking a beating more then they can handle and the KYB's are performance struts that are made to handle the extra tension from the car being lowered

i have had lowering springs for over 50k miles putting me at 92k on STOCK struts and no issues. now of course, if you go 30mph over speed bumps everyday then ya, your struts will go to shit. its all how u drive....
