New front Struts?????

I'm in the market for new front struts for my 88 gta. I've pretty much narrowed in down to stock replacement delco's at $70 each or aftermarket kyb's for $50 each. Which is the better choice. Also should i get a new set of front coil springs since i'm getting the struts changed or is that not necessary. Does it really matter what kind of springs i get? thanks for the info

I know the KYB's are pretty good, especally for the price. You don't need to change the springs unless you want to. I went with Eibach springs and they are awesome.

Id go with billenstien struts. I know auto zone sells them. Yes they are kind of pricy but they claim after 100,000 miles of use they should still have 98% of use. Now thats what kyb ac delco cant compare with. oh yeah im sure auto zone has a liftime warranty on them ask them.
