Default Question for Coil Spring lowered 2IS members

Hey guys, I am about to lower my car with Eibach Pro-Kits tomorrow or next weekend depending on how it goes. Anyways, I have a question before I do. How are your OEM Shocks/Struts whatever you call them holding up? The reason why I ask is becuase on my previous vehicle, a Honda Accord V6 98 model, The OEM struts blew not that much after lowering the car with the same springs. I really want to avoid this problem if possible. If this is the case I would rather sell the pro kits and get the Tein CST. If you guys don't mind fill in the fields.

Brand: [Eibach, Tanabe]
How many approximate miles since install:
Strut condition:


Add anything else you guys would like for me to know. I know anytime you install drop springs you should change struts but to my understanding, there aren't any aftermarket struts. I also hear that we have OEM Tokicos? Would this work out fine?

Same here, I have over 8,000Km on mine and love them. My car was aligned by the dealer and they reported no issues.
