You're gettin ripped bud. My struts blew when I slammed my 97 so I threw on some KYB's, and things are great now. If you don't have any probs with the current ride then don't change them. Keep your money or spend a little extra on some Hi-Po tires! You can change them out yourself if they fail in the future. If your car is stock I suggest renting a spring compressor from Autozone or someplace like that to get it done. I'm actually in the process of putting some new springs (Eibach Sportlines) on mine now, so if you want some pics email me.
