Default vividracing - S Tech springs Question

hey guys, i was planning on getting the Tein S.Tech Springs Honda Civic EM1/EJ6/7/8 96-00 on vivid racing for around $200. its gona drop my civic Front:
Front: -1.93"
Rear: -1.65"
site : http://www.vividracing.com/catalog/t...00-p-8216.html

i was wondeering if im ok putting these on stock struts or will i have to upgrade?, the guy i bought my honda from said he replaced the struts a little while befor i bought it which was about 5-6 months ago. i want to drop my car so bad, i dont have much money, not really enough for coilover but i dont want to cob something, if its gona cost me more money in the long run, i dont want to d it, ill just wait awhile and save, but if i can get away with the springs on the stock struts that would be pretty cool.

$200 is a bit more than i payed from www.procivic.com, but still not bad. I have S-Techs on my stock 99 shocks and they are doing just fine. Drop removes almost all wheel gap, looks pretty good to me. You can put them on yourself prolly, just follow the DIY we have here on HCF (in the DIY section)

you'll need spring compressors for hte install though.

THIS is where i got mine, couldn't be happier. I think they're a forum sponsor too, which is good all around. Looked around and couldn't find any reviews on Grip Motorsports, so idk about them. Never really heard of them. I know eBay was selling S-Tech knock offs, might wanna watch it, idk.

Ok, i understand wanting tomake sure you get the product, by why pay more money when you dont have to? seems stupid to me, guess money isnt an option to you, must be nice
