Icon6 new to this pls help

I just bought a 97 Honda Civic EX that has been lowered. The springs have been cut and I have been reading up on what i think i might need. My question is if I need to get shocks and struts as well and springs. Some say yes and some say no.I haven't the slightest on what I need to replace and what I don't need. and I wont be raceing I dont think mostly show car and rideing around city and trips which onces should i get? Any help would be appreciated.ohh and where can I find a great low coast web site where i can order upgrades and parts thanks

You don't have struts, you have shocks. You will need to replace the springs, and along with the springs you should probably replace the shocks as well because they've likely been damaged or blown. Are they leaking at all?

The right springs for you will depend on your needs and budget. The right shocks for you will depend on your springs, needs, and budget.

What purpose would a "high performance" starter serve?

You can't go wrong with a Denso reman.
