Default RSX Lowering springs,stock shocks?

I am sorry for not doing a search, the search option is down.Im actually asking this question for a friend. He is planning on selling his RSX within the next year, but wants a better stance.He is just looking to buy springs and not shocks. From experience, he is wondering what kind of aftermarket springs would go well with stock shocks. My guess is he in to concerned with the ride, he just doesnt want the shocks to blow.Thank you for your time.

no lowering springs are good for stock shocks, they all put extra wear on them and kill them faster. there's no way to tell if your friend will kill his stock shocks within a year or not, just luck of the draw.

thanks for the input.I told him to just get a set of coilovers, but he is content on lowering the car with stock shocks. I think he is hoping the car will be sold before he needs new shocks.thanks again.
