I believe that if you drop your car with stock shocks it would be a matter of time until they blow.

Living in CA, you may be able to get a bit more life out of them than say someone who lives in a pot-hole stricken area. I'm on Maxspeeds with OEM struts for about 10k now with no issues (as of now).

San Jose has decent roads at times, from what I gather. Buuut, you still shouldn't. Get Illuminas for struts.

I'd advise you to get new struts before you install the new springs. Since the Teins drop your stance a considerable amount the stock struts will probably not last long due to the different spring rates.
