well, you don't have to replace your stock shocks immediately, but it's a really good idea to put performance shocks on if you put on coilovers. The stock shocks may last as little as a month or as much as 2 years. With a lowered car, the shocks, regardless of brand, get a lot more stress put on them than if the car was at the standard height.

So, save yourself a headache and replace the shocks at the same time, with GOOD shocks, don't go cheap.
