Default Suspension Questions

I have lowering spring on my car eibachs to be exact and my car is now lowered 1.8 inches... if i were to buy new shocks and struts would it lower my car even more or just make it handle better?

Also if i were to put a swap in my car would i have to change the shocks/struts on my car also?

Depends what you replace them with, if you go with OE style struts than there is no improvement, I would recommend kyb or tockico struts for improved driveability.
No, struts won't lower the car any more, and No, you don't need to replace struts when swapping motors.

No replacing struts/shocks won't lower your car it just allows it to handle a lot better by eliminating bouncing and keeping the wheels to the ground. They type of struts/shocks to get is determined by your driving style. I went with Tokico HP series with a 2.5 inch drop and I'm not complaining about it. But if you do all around driving track, autocross, etc. Probably should go with an adjustable set.
