strut question

K so I'm planning on getting a set of tein stechs on my 01 ex coupe
Ive got the springs and the camber kit situations figured out and I should be getting them within a couple of weeks
My question is this: are there any problems associated with using stechs on stock struts? And if so what should I buy/do?

I've looked around and I haven't found any straightforward answers yet so yea...

Man, there have been like, infinity posts on this site where you can see that it is not recommended to drop your car on stock struts...even if it's only 1.5". You'll blow 'em out in no time.

You may not blow them out for a while, but they will be extremely squishy. Save up and do it right, when I did it on my car I wish I did the same
