    Is there a way I can test to see if my strut or spring is bad? Eventually I'm going to replace both but I want to know which is bad?

    Springs sag or snap.

    Otherwise do the bounce test, push down really hard on a corner like it's hitting a bump and watch the rebound, see how many times it goes up and down before it stops moving again.

    Depending on the miles I would just replace everything. Why do everything twice if you don't need to. Get whatever lowering springs you want and some KYB Excell G's and call it a day.
