    It will be ok.... for like 6 month - 1 yr. Depends on how new/old your stock struts and your driving style and road condition.

    Does anyone have actual expereince with the S-techs on a 98-02 generation Corolla running them on oem struts? I read that S-techs were made to work with oem struts. Do they really wear down the struts that fast? Thanks.

    I am! I have S-tech on my stock struts for around 8,000km, and I can tell the struts are dying now. Need to replace them soon.

    ok, your struts depend on how low you make it. the higher you put them the less stres on them. the lower you make th coils then the struts cant move as much and you will blow them faster
