I was just wondering, if I put lowering springs in my car, and drop it like 1 or 1.5 inches, would i have to upgrade other items, such as struts or shocks...or would the stock ones work with the new springs?
Thanks...

Stock gear should do fine for a long long while...

depends on what springs you lower with. really stiff springs will require new shocks. springs that are maybe 15-20% stiffer than stock will be okay, but anything more, and you will need new shocks.

If you go 1-1.5" lower, you probably can get away without a camber kit as well.
