Yes, as long as they are for the right year. But I'd get the BAT kit over just doing struts.

Also depends on how many miles are on the springs. With such an extensive swap.. you'd almost be stupid for not throwing some new springs in their while you are there. Kind of liek having your trans sitting infront of you and a store down the street who has a shelf full or LSD's.. get my point. Oh... and look at my sig..

Uh...whatever. Springs last a long, long time--much longer than struts. Even when they "sag" a little, they don't lose rate, so unless they are broken, or sagged beyond usefelness, they will be OK.
Sell your stuff in the classifieds.
