Since they don't list the spring rates, it's to hard to take a guess on how long they will last. How far you lower the car will also add to the equation. I would recommend matching them with aftermarket struts regardless of it saying stock.

I ran ground control's on my stock struts, BAD idea. They lasted about 1k miles.

It also a very bas idea to run them with any struts, even Illuminas. They will instantly kill any struts you have.
