ok.. i lowered my car with sprint 2.5 inch drop over 3 years ago with the stock struts.  I still have my stock struts.... i have driven about 40k miles with the sprint spring/stock strut setup.  I does not ride bumpy or bouncy (unless you go over a shitload of bumps or huge dips) its still ok.  But when i do drift corners, i do feel wheel hop.  And going over 90+, i never had a problem.  It is not necessary to put on new struts but it is a good idea.  Im cheap and i dont really need good struts because i dont do any track.  Ohh yeah, i also emailed every company that makes struts for our cars (non ajustable) and they all said if you lower your car more than 1.5 inches, they will VOID your warranty.
