H&R or Eibach Pro with stock shocks. Good or not ?
I am wondering if I would install only the springs, would it be ok? would it kill the stock shocks faster than aftermarket?

it will definately wear them out faster... dependes on how many miles you have on the shocks now as to how long they will last.... i just switched out to the prokit and i like it a lot... i would say spend the extra money and get shocks...

Isn't it a lot bouncier and the overall ride just not as comfortable if you're running aftermarket springs w/ stock shocks?

I am fucking horrible.

I have had the Eibach pro-kit on my stock shocks for nearly 60k.

I have no idea to tell if I need new shocks or not.

Alil' hard on yourself aren'tcha? :P

And from what I've been hearing and reading on these boards, I'm really surprised those stock shocks have lasted as long as they have thus far.
