Advice needed: Eibach Pro Kit for 99 SE

I've searched and haven't found much of an answer:

Switching from the stock springs to the Eibach Pro Kit for a 99 SE: will I need to change my stock shocks to avoid blowing them? The kit lowers 1.5" in the front and 1.3" in the rear.

Also, any pics with Eibach springs would be welcome, thanks!

Yes, you will have to change the struts and shocks becuase they will blow...

The upper coils are rubbing against each other.
Get some coil wrap from the electrical dept of Home Depot.
CMS/Springtech on the left, Eibach on the right.

I love my Eibachs on Illuminas, but they ride pretty rough for some when the road is bad.

I drove MaxRB8's car with that setup. It felt alot nicer than the eibach/koni combo.
