just got new spings do I need struts?

HI, i have the Eibach Sportline Lowering Springs with a 2.0 in front and 2.5 in rear drop. I wanted to know if i need struts, and if I would just need the 2 front ones replace sins thats where most of the weight is. These are the ones I'm looking at.
I have a 07 LT btw



Thank you for you're time!

Those are them. I'm going to wait until I need to install the strut inserts first though due to ride quality. You can ride on the stock ones for a while. I actually bought some used struts so I can assemble them and the inserts before putting my car on stands. It should keep the downtime to a minimum.

Ok thanks, but do I need new struts for the rear or can i just get one's for the front.

you can get front, you can get rear, you can get both.

if you dont want to come back, tear them out, and replace the sturts in the next 20000 miles, buy the struts now, mine are already leaking.

If you want the best ride quality, get all 4 new struts. I'll probably be doing them 2 at a time though. I plan on doing the front ones first. They shouldn't be too difficult at all. The rears are even easier.

Ok I'll ride for a while with just the front one's.
I well get a smooth ride with no problems with those struts right? There not going to break or leak?

Otherwise if your old enough you can start a credit account with Bill-me-later and order them off TireRack or just put them on a credit card... but be careful with that

You'll end up like me and standing in a very deep whole, with a very small shovel
