My car only has 76,000miles and the ride is fine (original shocks I'm pretty sure), but because the shocks would be constantly compressed wouldn't that cause them to wear faster? I also heard if you don't change shocks and struts the ride is really bouncy on lowering springs...but I suppose that depends on the springs...I'd like to try just springs and CC plates first, and get shocks and struts only if needed or the ride is horrible. Then again I'd rather just do it all at once if that's what it comes down too.
