you could use stock shocks but it would blow sooner or later.

i have the Tein s-tech springs with KYB AGX carts and struts. KYB states that they are designed for stock ride height, but you can safely use the on vehicles lowered approximately 1.5". stock shocks will not last long but if your upgrading the springs then you would be wise to upgrade the carts and struts anyway, because think about how many miles are already on your stock components, and then add on the extra stress of being lowered. I think the Tein/KYB setup works well, much better than the cheap Arospeed sleeve-over coil-overs i had before.

you can, but they won't last as long as they would with stock height.
