You will need moog or other stock type replacment springs if you do not want your car to be lower. You get what you pay for for any suspension piece.

If you springs are bad go with the Moog they will keep you at stock height and be nice and firm. If your stock springs are ok and you don't want to lower just get yourself a set of KYB's. GR-2 fronts and gas adjust rears are pretty good with stock springs. If you wanted a little more in the shock/strut department I would go to Tokico HP's
