No you don't have to change to coil overs. Most companies offer them with or without spring perches.

great way the lighten the front end, where you going with tubular a-arms?

there are many kits you can get, some have the tubular a-arms with spring perches, you can get some that can use the stock a-arms, and you can get the full kit with coil-overs. You can go ahead and get struts now for the front but if you get coil-overs you might have to modify the struts, by grinding down the dust caps on top or cutting them off. I have the UPR tubular k-member with coil overs and i love it. I just took my lakewood 90/10 struts to a grinder and grinded off the edges of the dust caps so i could fit the sleeves over them and it was good to go from there. Its a pretty fun task installing it also lol.
