I used the sportlines, and my struts haven't messed up yet. I didn't put a new set on because at the time there were none : /. Now since they are in when they break Ill get new ones, until then there is no problem rides great!!

I'm on Sportlines, had them since August-ish and still rocking the stock struts. No problems, and they made the car look so much better. Here's a before/after pic for you:

Eibach Pro-kit with original struts. 2 years, 20K miles about. No problems. They about due for regular replacement anyway.

Yeah, but the Pro-Kit doesn't drop it much. You hear alot more people talking about blown struts from dropping 1.5"-2.5".
