Default Lowering Springs

Just bought Sprint lowering springs for my 94 Accord. Will the stock struts work with the lowering springs?

if it's about 1" lowering , then stock struts are fine, anything more than 1" then you shouldn't put them on with stock.

Eibach is a great brand. If I couldv'e afforded that when I lowered my car I would have got them. Whatever you get, and however much you drop it, you will need a camber kit. You can keep the stock struts if you get a decent camber kit. On my car I have ingalls camber kit on the front and rear and it works great with stock struts and about 1 1/4" drop.

sorry if this is a repost, but my struts are shot, and when I replace them, I was wondering if simply cutting the springs to lower the car has been done or is not recommended or, etc? I am look for a cheap way to lower the car.

If you think this is a good idea, never touch your car.

The ride quality will be crappy and handling will be even worse.
