Default Eibach prokit and stock shock

Whenever I try to 'climb' over the speed bumps that are omnipresent in Ann Arbor, Michigan, I hear these annoying-as-hell squeeking sounds from both the front and the rear of my 94 SC400. I assume these sounds are coming from the old stock springs...ummm....i think....

So, i'm thinking of replacing the stock springs with the 1" drop Eibach kit, but keeping the stock shocks as it is. Will this destroy the stock shocks at some point? I can't afford to spend another couple hundred dollars on shocks...and I'm hoping this setup will be okay...

need some comment
Thanks

you will feel your stock shocks start to bottom out within 3 months after you install your eibachs, and that i mean on brand new stock shocks. just invest 300 more bucks and buy shocks with the springs together.

i replaced my shocks when i heard "those annoying squeaks" and the culprit was the stock shocks. i replaced them with tokico's. if you're getting eibachs, might as well save a hundred or so on labor and get your shocks as well. by simply replacing your springs will not get rid of the squeaky noise. it'll make them worse.
