these are performance shocks...the reason i liked the dz shocks is because i have the dz coilovers and the shockes were for lowerd cars...the kyb are jus perforomance gas shocks are the gunna wear out quick on a lowerd car like the stockers?

kyb shocks are basically slightly upgraded OEM shocks. They'll do the job just as well as the stock shocks when they were new. They're a good shock, but not the best for the money.
