when lowering your car what all do you need?

Ok so I am a super noob with car thing. I'm getting my xb on friday and I plan on lowering them as soon as I can. What all do I need other than the springs? Like on my maxima it was recommended that i get new struts as well as the springs. With the xb will I only need the springs? Like I said ima noob with the modding thing. Please help! Thanks

The rear is about 1.5" higher than the front on a stock xB. The most even drop comes from the Eibach Sportlines, with a drop of 1.2" front and 2.2" rear.

Here's the spring drop comparison link:
