aftermarket springs/OEM struts - will they last?
How long should I expect my stock struts to last if I swapped out my stock springs for tein s springs?
Next question: How long would KYB AGX struts with tein s springs?

I've heard that KYB won't warranty their shocks with those springs because the drop is too low. I think 1.5" is the max. That's not to say that they wouldn't work better than the stock ones, but their life span will be shorter than normal.

ah yes I understand that bro, but will I be replacing the KYB's every year or what?
edit: The same question goes for stock struts too.

www.subaruparts.com shows the stock struts at $99.02 a piece, so $400 for the set. I've see the KYB's at $140 a piece, but I don't know if that's the best price or not.
Is performance a goal, or just longevity?

performance and longevity, but right now I ran my first autocross event, and I think my direction has changed, more like I need more tires, i beat up my RE-92s pretty well so that's where my money will be going lol. Thanks for the help you provided though.

I was looking on ebay, and they were selling some Tein Springs for about 200 dollars for the 03 WRX. They drop 1.5 front, and I tink its .8 - 1.0 inches rear. I was wonderin are they real / worth it / and if they would blow my OEM shocks? Pls tell me soon, before I make a big mistake
