Prodrive and stock struts

Is it true that you can use the stock struts with the prodrive lowering springs and not damage them?

Yes and no. You won't "break" the stockers, but they will wear out faster. Anywhere from 20-60,000 miles expected life depending on how you drive and whatnot.

Less suspension travel will definitely put more wear on your struts. It's probably wiser and easier to replace both at the same time, to truly get the performance and look I'm sure you're after.
