I want to lower my car pretty soon, and I am on a budget. My question was, if I get some B&G springs, would I need to replace my stock struts? My car is a 97 with 106k miles on it, and I'm not really sure if they have been replaced or not before.

 

For the ONE BAZILLIONTH TIME!!!!



YES you will need new struts very son after getting springs...save time and money and get them both at the same time.

Don't change your struts, you will be happy in the long run.

 

With mileage like this, I would deffinately recomend doing both!

 

I have had Sprints on (2" drop) with O.E.M. struts for 2 months (2k+ miles) now. No problems at all. No creaks. No leaks. No pulling ro one side. Nothing. However I only had 52k miles on the car when I put them on. With 100k+ miles I would reccomend changing them, but who knows -- the Maxima lasts 100s of thousands of miles and maybe you won't need them at all! If you can get them installed for free (or really cheap) go ahead and put them on. Just make sure the car drives safely.
