I recently bought KYB AGX struts and i was searching and some people said that if you pair up this struts with eibach sportline springs, it would ruin it. If that is the case, can i put the eibach pro-kit on it..... any suggetions would help (no coilovers since I can't afford one yet =(...)

yeah, your fine with pro-kits... reason being is that sportlines are too low of a drop for most shocks that they tend to blow after abuse...

The Konis were fine with the original design Sportlines (but the Koni yellows also damp better than the majority of/ all JDM coilovers).

The Sportlines were later revised for use with cheaper shocks/ struts such as the Tokicos and KYB's. IIRC the drop was reduced by some .5 - .75" (no longer the 2.5" original drop). The newer models should be fine, if they're even still selling them.
