depending on what struts you have now. if they're stock they won't handle dropping. if gr2's, hp's or better - you'll be fine.

After reading the stock struts should be good for like 50k with a 1.75 inch drop so I see no need to get better struts.

stock struts are good for about 60k, but that's without dropping, from what i read seems to be some misinformation around. i'll look around some more to try and find some more on lowering with stock shocks - unless you're positive you want to do that.
