Buying new springs, need your input

So i'm getting a new set of Eibach Pro kit for my '05 max. Wanted to know your opinion. I've had good experience with Eibach Pro kit on my last car (honda accord) so I'm thinking to give it a try on my max as well. I know its highly recomended to upgrade your shocks/struts too when lowering the car but I couldn't really find any inexpensive shocks for 6th gen. So, I was wondering how long will my factory shocks will hold with a 2" drop in front and 0.7 in the back. ALSO, what about allignment issues. I know with my accord after I dropped it 2" allignmnet shop did the best they could to straigthen my camber and even after they were done it still sat -1 on each side. So i was wondering how much play do maximas have in order to get it back to normal specs with 2" drop in front. Please let me know to the best of your knowledge guys... let the comments begin

When I had Eibachs, I ran them for almost 2 years with stock struts and had no problem. But there have been guys who blew them after only a few days, luck of the draw I guess. As alignment and camber I never had any problems either. I'm on K-Sports now and probably an inch lower than the Eibachs and the car sits/drive just fine...
