I just bought the Eibach pro-kit for my GS, I wanted to know if it was ok to use them with oem shocks. Has anyone had a bad experience?, is the ride rough and do the shocks wear out fast?

 

i've had my stock shocks for 20,000 miles now with the pro-kits.....still rides fine for me maybe i'm just lucky.

 

Sure it's ok...but your shocks will wear out faster. Might as well splurge on a set of performance shocks as well to take full advantage of your springs. And if you're having a shop install it for you, you'll save more time and money in the long run by having to take your suspension apart only once.

 

Your car will be fine for awhile, I have a friend with the exact same setup as you and his shocks have held up for almost 2 years now with no problem. Might as well go ahead and get some KYBs since their cheap

 

I just wanted to make sure it was a good setup for now, because I'm short on cash and I can't stand the MDX look. In about a year or two, after I get some use of the oem shocks, I'm thinking of putting Tokico Illuminas.

Add Koni Yellows and be happy,

The stock shocks will hold up just fine. Only issue is the dampening on stock shocks are set up to match the stock springs. They will not match the stiffer Pro-Kits all that well and will probably be a bit bouncy. A set of AGXs won't cost you too much. Might as well do it now while you are paying for the labor to install the springs.
