Lowering

[mazda32008]

I am getting some mazdaspeed lowering springs soon (same as eibach pro kit) and was wondering how long will my stock suspension last. I won't be turning going very fast yet lets say about 35mph or so but once i get new suspension which will be very far down the line since i have other plans for the car. Yea i know this has been asked many times before but i haven't found the right answer..

Short answer:
Your stock shocks will last as long as they would with stock springs.

changing the ride height alters the suspension geometry and could affect the longevity of your struts, but most likely if you are driving carefully they will last just as long as they would normally... just take it easy on those speed bumps!
