Default lowering springs . how will the stock shocks hold up

I wanted to know if it is nessecary to change the stock shocks if im going to lower the car 1 - 1.1/4 ( going to be purchasing steeda in a few weeks) i know any type of lowering will effect the stock shocks and they will eventually blow . but on a 2001 mustang GT how good are the stock ones will they be able to hold for half a year to a year before i replace them with after market or should i just get the whole package i plan on just buying the springs. nothing more no camber plates or nothing like that.

you wont need to replace anything, if money is tight dont worry about it.

www.50resto.com has a kit that includes the Steeda Springs and KYB shocks and struts for $450. It would be a good idea to go ahead and replace the shocks and struts when you swap springs
