Default shock/strut thoughts

My ti came with a massive amount of paperwork detailing all of the repairs/service that has been done to my '95. In there, I found no record of any struts/shocks being replaced, so I'm assuming they are stock. I recently ordered a set of RD sport springs and I'd like to put them on. Ive been advised to replace the struts and shocks at the same time, would yall agree? 2ndly, since it'll lower the car about an inch and a half I'm wondering if yall have any sugguestions on which lowered shocks/struts to put in so I get as little camber resistance as possible.

Whenever you lower these cars, you're going to have camber issues regardless. It's part of the deal, so if you don't want uneven wear on your tires, simply don't lower your car. As for shocks and struts, the two manufactures most people here recommend is Bilstein or Koni. Whichever brand you decide on, make sure you get sport tuned shocks/struts as OE replacement shocks/struts aren't designed to dampen the stiffer spring rates of most aftermarket lowering springs and they'll likely fail prematurely.
