Bad shocks from after-market springs

I just installed TEIN springs on my 03 WRX and I've heard that the stock shocks can't handle it for long........anyone know about how long you can go before you have to replace the shocks?

depends how hard you drive it, and I know you drive pretty fast so not a long time. Pick up some Koni's.

Also to help him out, does anyone know the best shocks to get?

Unfortunately choices are limited still. Basically you can get KYB AGX, which also don't like lowering more than 1.4 inches, or Koni inserts in your stock strut bodies. AGXs are cheaper and simpler to get and install.
