well i have lowered my past three vehicles. on all of the past applications i got a very long life out of the stock shocks/struts. i do not know how long the stock ones will last on this si application but i know that when i talked with kyb which makes shocks/struts they said that they will have their application of shorter ones for lowered vehicles soon. so for now i am just riding it out. hopefully i see a long life on these stock ones also.
