Default are the stock shocks holding up with lowering springs?

im sure it has been asked before, but i havent seen it.

while im here, i have wheels from my civic, rota circiut 10 in bronze that i want to put on. they are 17x7.5 and 45mm off set. i know ill prolly need spacers. but. i was considering getting the trd-rh 18in option when i goto the stealership to order it. i wont have money to just buy new rims, and thought i might as well get those, then ill have 2 sets whats your opinion? i know there are better deals on rims, but like i said, i wont have cash for a long time to go buy rims. might as well get them on the loan too.

I have 10000 miles on mine and the back seems to be getting lower every week. I thing that its the 300 lbs box in the back that is doing it

lol yea that might do it. in looking thru hundred of posts, i never see mention of replacing shocks when lowering. i know honda shocks are bad at that i had one blow out 30 minutes after i lowered it and 2 more blew within 30 days.

these are going on a BCP xB
sorry for the size

mine are holding up very well, and I have been lowered for about 20,000 miles and have many trips under my belt. Right now I am on RS-R springs and before that I was on Goldlines. Still a comfortable ride!
Ciruit 10 rotas, I had circuit 8 on my other car. Rotas are the sh*t man, I almost did rota on my box!

i have spy spring in the front of my box and stock in back. i have had 2 sets of rims and no problems. i put them on at about 400 miles and i turned over 21000 today so i would say they are holding up very well
