wow, barely understood what you wrote...

yes, you can install them on stock struts...
no, you dont need aftermarket struts...
yes, your struts will blow quicker but not for some time...

Put them on, you could blow any strut if you drive crazy enough. If you do blow one, then it's an opportunity for an upgrade! It's a really easy install anyway if you do have to, or want to switch later. I put H-techs on my stock struts and haven't had a problem yet. Rides better than stock in my opinion.

yeah i've had mine for around 15k and no problems. Unless u constantly take corners at higher speeds and just ride the hell out of ur car, they won't blow that fast. They'll probably last you as long as u have the car

Okay, heres a question not only for those w/ H-Tech's, but those w/ any suspension mod.
Has anybody experienced any tilting or leaning to one side after mod was done? I finally pulled my H-Techs out of the dusty corner of my garage and had them installed. 3 weeks later and regardless if my car is on level ground or not, i notice my driver side sits about an inch lower then my passenger side. Before anybody says I should lose weight, please keep in mind that i'm only about a buck 75. Also, I ended up having the dealer install my springs for me and it seems they are the only ones who can't get it back to spec. and said i need a camber kit. Any thoughts?

yea i don't think i ever heard of such a thing but it kind of goes along with modding your car. Sometimes you win or loose when modding. Do you have aftermarket wheels? if so, then yes, you might need a camber kit. But if they say its camber, then sure, thats what it might be. Sometimes if your lucky, you won't need it, but not all cars will be the same. just in your case, its just something that happened. no biggie, you could just do the camber kit yourself, its pretty much screws you need to adjust.
