Struts included??

So i was flippin through the Official Suspension Drop thread since i was tryin to get ideas for what im gonna get for my car.....and i noticed that alot of people only bought coilovers or only bought springs and did not buy struts....so i wanted to see if people may have just left that part out or what, by asking this....


...with your suspension set up, how many of you guys not only have coils/springs, but also have aftermarket struts too....or did u just buy the coils/springs only and are riding on oem struts???

Just flat out summarized, people who just used springs ( or coilover sleeves) to drop the car and didn't change the shocks, did it because it was cheaper.

The fact of the matter is, its not smart, and you'll still end up buying shocks down the road because you'll blow out the stock ones, and find yourself doing the install twice.
