i'm running HnR race springs on stock struts. i love the drop. i posted pix of the drop b4. just a heads up, the springs will make your car ride like a wooden roller coaster. your teeth will chatter when you go over a crack in the road. i'd recommend coilovers for a better ride quality

You do not need coilovers. You just need a shock that isn't junk like the stockers are, especially after all this time.

^ hiwords never said "needed". He merely recommended them. It takes a lot more than just a shock to get better handling. Springs wear out too and after almost a decade and probably 10x,xxx it would be probably to your benefit to consider springs as well.
