Better to use those than "US" Konis.

You'll get some life out of those stock shocks, but there will come a time in the fairly short future when you'll need to replace them.

AJR/Spoon/etc will say that you wont need to, but you will notice it after a bit, unless the car we expereinced this on was just a crazy fluke.. which I doubt.

How many miles on the OEM shocks when you put the Spoon Progressives on?
Would have to talk to Marc to be sure, but I believe it was ~25k. we took them out at ~50k. They weren't completely blown (ie if you pushed the shaft down they would come back up) but they were far from healthy. The car is now running bilsteins with the spoon springs with no problems so far time will tell.
