Just picked a used set of BMR lowering springs. Just wondering if I need to upgrade the struts too or if stock struts are ok. I just don't want to have springs installed and then have to do the struts after. Thanks

The struts, if good, should be fine. There are probably better struts to use if you want to upgrade the performance but is it required for to work, I don't believe so.

Thanks. What do I need beside the springs for the install. I'm having a friend put them in for me so I want to make sure he's got everything needed. Thanks for the help.

It's helps install go easier by buying new struts, so you don't have to tear down the factory units, just swap assembly for assembly.

The factory struts will ride fine, but will be a little bouncy on bigger, rolling bumps.

Spring compressors, and tools to get the PITA strut nut. It is recessed so difficult. If your struts aren't adjustable then you can hit it with an impact to get on and off.
