Should OEM shocks be replaced if Lowerings Springs are installed?

Currently I am trying to install Eibach Sportline Lowering Springs and was wondering if anyone could tell me if my OEM shocks should be replaced with the installation?

How many miles do you have on your car? Its always best to replace oem shocks with some aftermarket ones when you replace springs.

My car has 99k miles on it. Which shocks would you recommend with the sportline springs?

Tokico D-SPecs are a bit pricey but would TYB GR2 shocks work?

Look at Tokico HP instead of d-specs if cost is an issue. Vendors sell a complete set for around $300.

My OEM shocks didnt make it past 75k miles... I had my 350z s.tech installed around 50k miles and when I got my bc coils installed they said one of my rears were blown and covered with fluid
