Its best to replace the stock shocks if you want it to ride comfortable. The old shocks may not control the ride the car will bounce a little. I did the same on my Maxima,
but you don't need to.
The Aftermarket lowering springs are made to replace the factory springs.
You may need to get an alignment and possibly a Camber Kit : cost $ 19-$36 for the set.
this keeps your wheels setting good after the car is lowered.
Handling and performance are 80% better over stock suspension even with new factory shocks.

Depends. If you lowered the car enough that the shocks can bottom out when driving, then they will need to be replaced. Otherwise, so long as they suit your spring rates and don't cause you to keep hitting your bump stops, you can keep what you have.
Good luck!

Not necessarily. But you will need to get new wheel alignments because the car will ride with negative cambers after lower the car.
This will wear out the tires very fast. But it will give you improved cornering (just from negative camber).
Good Luck and drive safe.

You dont have to get new shocks as long as the ones you have on now are in good condition.
