Ive been reading and i know that i have to for sure get new shocks when lowering at all so what do you think about this set...

Do i need coilovers to go with the shocks, or are lowering springs along okay?

This is a set of shocks and it comes with springs would that do??

I got that exact same kit for my Cavalier and I love it. Drop was a little more than 2". It rides a little rough, but I like it, the stock Cavy suspension is mushy as hell and the lowering helped a lot with the huge body roll, squat, and dive. Those shocks, though off brand, have held up really well. I've had them on for over two years and they still work like they did the day I put them on. No sag from the springs either. Cheap as hell too. These coupled with my Toyo Proxes 4's allowed me to take 45 mph S-curves at 75+. I would recommend them.

KYB's in the past have had fitment issues with their 2g DSM shocks. It required cutting the factory bumpstops off. I don't have any experence with their porduct in the last year. They may or may not have fixed that issue. If you are looking for a good all around strut/spring combo without getting into ajustable coilover springs check out Tokico Illuminas. That will drop you 1.75 front 1.5 in the rear. If you like to goto the track you should look for Coilovers. Most all lowering springs have a 175 lb ratio. You'll want somthing in te 400+ for the front and 300+ in the rear depening on power/weight ratios and driving conditions. Just my opinion

Im sure both of those would work fine.

Can i buy these tokico shocks and then buy another kind of spring.. and will any kind of spring that says it fits a 95-99 gsx fit the new shocks or should i buy a shock/strut combo that comes with springs?

Those are the HP struts, they are non ejustable. The Illumina (white) have 5 level ajustablility for their stiffness. You can replace the springs if you like. I was pretty sure Illuminas came with Eiboc lowering springs.
