Good gas struts should last at least 75,000 miles. To give you an idea my Daughters Mitsu says replace them at 100,000 miles or sooner if they leak! My advise is if you are lowering the rear via springs replace the shocks. Old shocks will be worked way to hard to keep up with the new lowering springs. I dont think you need a spring compressor cause I didnt for the rears. My new rear anti sway bar from Suspension Techniques made a huge difference in getting rid of my understeer and nose dive. I also put on a front strut tower brace from Freedom Design. Remember a larger front anti sway bar will add to understeer not improve it. Too large a rear bar, in relation to the front bar, will give you severe oversteer. The bar I used on the rear along with the stock front bar seemed to make my car much better balanced and it now rotates easy in the corners.
