Wanted to get some people's advice that may have more knowledge of lowering these vehicle's, will be lowering a 2013 Tahoe as soon as I round up all the parts and was wondering if it would be a good idea to start with new front coils since the backs will be new and I'll be using drop spindles and struts. You're supposed to use factory springs with them but the vehicle has over 200,000 so I thought it might be better to start with everything new and let it all settle together. Thanks, in advance...

With over 200,000 miles on the truck, your springs are definitely aged and have less strength that new. Change them.

Just be careful pulling the struts apart to replace the coils. Had both my struts rupture apart when lowering mine
