you dont have to, but your stock struts will blow out pretty quickly, as well as aftermarket struts if you lower too low. Just remember that if you lower your car, take it easy... dont drive on really bumpy roads or over railroad tracks if you can help it. anytime your strut gets to maximum travel and the strut "rod" hits the inside of the casing, it will blow your strut out and make it useless.

yes...new dampers are recommended but not necessary for about a month cause that's when ur stock ones will blow:D

depending on how much u drop depends on which damper will work best for u....
