Lowered shocks ?

What are most people running for shocks/struts when using eibach pro springs ?

Are stockers gonna be ok for a while ? Back in the day, stock shocks wouldn't last more than a couple months without blowing out, I don't want to make the same mistake on a car that doesn't deserve that abuse :-)

They should be fine for quite a while as long as they don't already have a lot of miles on them. When the time comes to replace them Tokico HP (also known as Tokico Blues) and Konis seem to be the two most common. By then you might want to consider coilovers though.

I always used Tokico blues, didn't know if they were still acceptable lol. As far as coilovers, I had BC BR coils in my 11 Wrx. They were fine in that car, but I refuse to go back to that harsh of a ride in a "luxury sedan". Thanks for the reply !!

There's not too many options for AWD coilovers but the AMRs look promising. My coilovers aren't as harsh as my lowering springs were, but I was pretty slammed on B&G S2s. Here's a thread on the AMRs
