Does anyone know how long stock shocks will last with upgrading lowering springs? From what I understand (that's not too much yet) :P
when you put on lowering springs, you are compressing the stock shocks more and shorten the life of them. I don't auto x the car, and don't drive it the way it was probably intended for, but I sure would love to kill some of the fender gap. At least on the S2K, a lot of auto xr's would say to leave it alone because it handled great out of the box. When lowering, do you still want to keep the front gap more than the rear? (is it that way from Subaru for braking purposes when conering?) I think the Eibach pro kit or STi Pinks are what I am looking at. Thanks for any help in advance.

STi pinks are made to work with the stock setup, so it will not cause any problems with the stock shocks.
