What is the longevity of the shocks after putting lowering springs on?

I would think the extra tension on the shocks would deteriorate them quickly.

Lowering springs will give you that bouncy ride too!

^no bouncy ride here!

And I haven't been lowered for too long (8 months), but I asked around before I lowered my car - and I didn't run into anyone blowing their shocks super early.

Are any of you awd guys experiencing vibrations from these springs? Ive heard a lot about it due to the bcr coils but not a whole lot about the h&r's so I think I may be going with these.

Anyone know what the dealers quote for installation? Also, anyone know of any good install shops near Portland, OR that are cheaper than the dealership?

Thanks in advance.

Those are 19s, I believe its 38 offset for the front and 32 offset for the back (or vice versa).

Where did you have these springs installed? I'm from the Monterey County Area and I'll drive anywhere for an $80.00 installation fee...
