yes you can ride with them on stock shocks, i'vee been doing that since i bought the car...it already had those sprinds on it so i dont know how long they were on but i had the car like that for 8K. they are very good springs, they do not ride very harsh with the stock shocks but if u hit a pothole or a medium sized bump expect it to be really hard. The handling is awesome, even with stock shocks, i'd say 80 percent of the body roll is gone. from 1 to 10 i'd give them a 9

they are ok for inexpensive springs. i would recommend getting a set of matched shocks and springs. you would have at most around 10k miles before the stock shocks go, depending on the springs themselves.

1. Yes, eventually they will blowout though.
2. I have no clue, I've never heard of them, perhaps a search if you haven't done that yet. However when I get to that stage I will be going with either Eibach Pro-Kit or Progress Springs with the Eibach Pro Dampers. I've heard too many good things about them.
3. Depends on how low the drop is, the lower you go the quicker the shocks will go! It can also depend on your driving style. I say a good year at least.

i was going to go with pro kit, but its to much money for not enough drop. and i can get the gold line cheap with less miles and a little more of a drop.

then go with the sportlines. That's a 2in drop. The springs are 199.95. That isnt that bad. My friend David has them on his Sedan. I'll see if he will come out sunday.
