You can run your OEM shocks for awhile but they will burn out a lot faster. More abuse is going on.

More abuse? I thought they were tested and found to have near stock spring rates. I'm running mine with konis and it's a nice ride.

^Any spring that is shorter than stock will put more abuse on the shocks...

Goof price, bump

and OEM shocks will work a bit, but you are lowering the vehicle, so the shocks are going to be more compressed at all times, and when you hit a bump its going to possibly bottom out (if its bad enough) your putting more shock and wear on your OEM shocks, but they will work until you get new shocks.
