lowering front of a 2001 lightning.

I am lowering the front with Eibach springs, do I have to change the shocks?

Do you have to? the springs will be shorter, so withe that id say yes... but the way i look at it, its all going to be apart, so i would do it anyways. and if there factory, they proubly need it anyways.

..only if you want your existing shocks to last.

You do NOT have to change your shocks with that little of a drop. You will not get the full range of movement out of the shock, but it is not enough to blow the shocks. It is usually advised to change them because the ride gets a little stiffer, but is not required.
