No, not necessary. The springs will last longer than the car. You may want to consider different shocks though. The lower stance makes the OEM shocks wear out faster than if they were at the stock height.

There are other brands (Koni for instance) that handle the modified ride height better and offer some adjustability.

I am having Konis installed to replace my tired OEM shocks next week....and I also have the Eibach Pro-Kit springs. Good choice.
