ajustable eibach coilover sleeves lowered to about 2.25 front 2.5 rear

OEM shocks
so when they blow out

depends on your roads, how long you drive, where you drive, what type of driving you do, etc.

if you don't drive your car at all, they'll last years compared to if you drive your car everyday, in gravel roads, they'd last a week.

keep them on (stock ones), until you save enough money, or they blow.

its so much nicer with new shocks, just do it all at once and save the trouble of doing it twice.

Front struts will be gone pretty quickly. Heck, they can hardly handle the oem springs.
