What I'm GOING to do is buy new struts that are meant for a lowered spring. A shock on a Honda like ours is considered a strut. It's one in the same. It's all going to depend on how much you want to spend. There are a lot to choose from, and everyone is going to tell you what you should get. Do a search on it. Something like "best strut" in the search window. I might do a KYB, because they're been around a long time, and are with-in the budget (when I get around to it). I'll spend like $300 for all of them.

Maybe just throw the springs on, and drive the car. The car will ride differently from the get-go, and eventually you'll notice WHEN the struts are starting to go. When you put new ones on, you'll no longer be a "noob" when it comes to it, and you'll be able to help someone out if you bump into a question like this.

find out what springs they are and how much of a drop they're supposed to give you. if it's only an inch or so, you can probably get away with the stock struts for quite a while. if it's any more than that, they'll go eventually. it also depends on your purpose. do you want sport/street, or do you want full race, rattle your balls off on the way to work?
