If you're installing sleeve coilovers, yes you will have to get aftermarket shocks as well because the oem ones will eventually blow. If you're getting complete coilovers you don't need to buy new shocks since they come with em

Its better to get aftermarket shocks as mentioned. My friend had a sleeve over from ebay on stock struts...POS ride but then its ebay what do you expect. My other friend that had Konis/GC on his car rode a lot better.
