I think the sock gona get ruin faster just mainly OEM shock had differrence bound, rebound load with an after market one design with short spring. May be I am wrong tho.

my boyfriend rode with stock shocks for about a year, and the ride wasnt too bad just over construction zones were bouncy as hell. lol.

I have had mine on for around 6 years and no truble out of my stock shocks at all, rides great better than factory. It lowered with Neuspeed Sport springs, they have about a 1.8 in the front and a 1.7 in the back. I hear if you don't go much below 2 inches you should be fine. If you go lower than 2 inches than that is where you will run into your shocks going bad quick.

I have the exact same setup on my sedan, and have had that setup for a year and a half with no problems.
