Whewwww 2 months for me
When I got my prokit put on, I did not upgrade my shocks, so I running the prokit on stock shocks. They lasted about 1-2 months and they started going bad. Get shocks and springs at the same time if you can, so you don't end up making double the work when the stock shocks do go bad

and there was a very annoying scratching sound
whenever i would hit a speedbump or deep divot on
the road.
but you get used to the sound after a while.

I have stock shocks and theyre fine, but I'm getting the Eibach Pro Kit soon. it drops the car 1.3". i thought that i read that you dont need new shocks if you get that. will i need new shocks no matter how little i lower it? or will the stock shocks last with the eibach pro kit?

with the pro kit my shocks lasted about 3 months the they started leaking and getting mushy. I suggest getting shocks along with springs. You will love them. Its the way to do it right.
If you are going to do it..do it right.
