Ok cool. Yeah I just wanted to find out if it was worth swaping em in for the mean time but I might as well save em if i were to put the stock springs in. The wifey's car hit 95k and the illuminas are starting to be harsh

what makes you think the illuminas are going out?

Prokit works well with the stock shocks, however they work even better on aftermarket.

What kind of symptoms are you exeriencing that you think is the shock going out?

That still doesn't mean the shocks are going out. I have a friend running Function B2 coilovers and they are pretty stiff. You can feel every bump on the road.

Unless you can get on the back of the car, and push it up and down with no effort. You might need to have them looked at. Other symptoms would be the car bottoming out and non responsive rebound from the shock.
