You need new coil springs or no?

No, springs are ok.

how many miles on the springs? how do you know they are okay?

About 48K. The passenger side mount is bad, so I figure I'd change the struts as well.

Why not just get the quick-strut... Same price as all those components and with a new coil spring. Good if you just want to replace stock, no drop, and get a decent strut. $127 at Rockauto...

I have my 4 waiting (KYB GR-2's) to be installed (maybe today) and will lower car next year.

I have the SS and I hear the quick struts don't give the same ride quality as the Oem spring\strut combination. I hear the SS and the 9C1 share the same suspension which is different from the other models. I like the ride quality and want to stay as close to it as possible. As I understand the Gr2's will give me that, if I was into adjusting my struts I would get the AGX's
