how how long do you guys thing the stock struts will last with an eibach prokit added. i do semi-aggressive driving. i put them on with about 16,000 mi on the coupe.

Depends on what you mean when you say "semi-aggressive". Does the road have a lot of bumps, twists and turns? I'm thinking it should last for a bit unless your going to do some rallying with the coupe. in which case, its not going to last long at all.

lol "the road." well on bumpy roads i deff take it easy. i have a heavier foot on smoother roads. im asking because im hoping they last until some aftermarket struts come out like tien or tokico. i would hate to have to replace them with oem and a month later aftermarket comes out. you dig??

you should be fine. I'm in the same boat myself. Was going to go with coilovers but I think I want to wait until more options are available to us coupe owners. KYB AGX are sweet shocks/struts and had em on my Acura CL with a 2 1/2 drop and they held up great!
