My car currently has 95K miles and my struts/shocks are worn out. I was wondering if I need to change my springs as well. I want to save money and dont do anything uneccessary. Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks.

You don't HAVE to replace the springs too, but you might as well replace them when the car is torn apart. Don't cheap out when it comes to suspension. Plus springs will cost you $200.
