Default New springs --- struts?

Hey.
I was thinking about getting a set of H&R sport springs
Springs
I was wondering if I would also need to get new struts at the same time, or if I could do that later.

If I do need new struts what would you recommend?

sorry buddy, this has been asked a ton of times, I am probably guilty of this too. But I will answer you question

You don't have to get new struts.....but as long as you are doing the work, why not replace them at the same time and get the benefit of both.

I know money is tight, if that is even the issue, but IMO your better off waiting for a set of Bilsteins......H&R/Bilsteins are pretty much the combo of choice, but by no means the only way to go. I have H&R Sports/Bilsteins and love the ride and the drop. Not too low but low enough to notice.

true... but you can run them for a summer and be fine depending on mileage on your stock struts!!!

btw you can find springs much cheaper than that website! for about $230 you can get them (shipped?) and if you search for used sometime you can find deals... i got h&R race springs used for 10,000 miles for $60 : )
