If they're the original shock then by 115k they'd be long gooorn-ski

No you don't have to, but you don't have to go on the track to appreciate the extra grip stiffer springs will provide, and also you might think that lower cars look better too.

Basically yes, and after installation a wheel alignment is a good idea.
anko7990 wrote:4) are there any additional parts requiring replacement? Manga_blue mentioned replacing bump stocks for $35 per corner. Is this necessary?
If you're sticking with stock springs, then not really. But if you were going for lower springs then cutting off the bumpstops and fitting an aftermarket one is a good idea, but shortening the stock bumpstop works for a lot of ppl too.
anko7990 wrote:5)what should I be paying for installation and alignment?
Roughly 2 hrs labour. Any more than that and the shop really didn't approach the job in an optimal way.

Not really!
