I have an '01 GT with 63,000 miles on it, and a completely stock supension. I want to put either Eibach Pro springs on it or H&R Sports, and I would like to keep using the stock shocks and struts due to $. Keeping in mind that there is currently nothing wrong with my stock ones, can I use them or do I have to buy new shocks and struts too?
shocks required?

For best results springs and dampers must be a matched set. Lower springs will make the dampers operate in a different range which may be outside of their "sweet spot".
Also, the stock dampers are crap and are definitely shot at 63k or even 23k miles.
If you cannot afford to do the mod properly, do not do it.

I just installed a pro kit about 1 month ago and left the stock struts and shocks
as my 04 has only 25 k on it. Hopefully the will hang in there for a while.
With your milage you should definatly replace them. When I had my 99 my rear
shocks died at about 60k even though the struts up front were still OK.
the 99 was not lowered at all.
