I have A 98 Contour SE and I put 17's on it. I want to drop the car with the Eighbach lowering spring set. I was wondering if I need to put new struts on the car, i called the place where i would get them from and they say its only recommended but i dont have to. I already replaced on strut on my car but now its seems to run fine. Im not lowering it that much do I need new struts? I have 75,000 miles on the car. If anyone can give me some info that would be great.
