Prokit
Prokit How have they been with stock shocks? So far Ive been getting conflicting info about the prokit. If not the prokit, what springs will work alright with the stock shocks? 
None. Stock shocks suck
If your satisfied with the prokit on stock shocks, then why change? Unless your doing some racing and could gain better results from a better shock, or just don't realize you could improve your ride quality preferences. I'm pretty sure that spring is oscillating multiple times over bumps though... with better damping shocks you can control that a lot better.

Prokit and stock shocks here, I had this for years now. It drives good for a daily driver, dont really scrape and its pretty comfy, although i have control arms and swaybars too. It was fine for a while, but now that the car sees higher speeds and is making a lot more power I want/need something stiffer.
It depends on what type of ride you want

Hey:
Strano makes a really good riding spring, I went from Eibachs prokit to them and the only thing I don't like is the white powder coating on them.
I guess I glad I don't see them often. yellow konis with white springs
its pretty bright under a red car. A cleaning compulsive persons nightmare.

Subscribed... I've been pretty curious as to this too. A lot of people seem to run stockers with prokit springs but I was wondering what aftermarket shocks people have run and had good results with.
In my opinion using stock shocks for any aftermarket springs is a horrible idea, fwiw
consider this - instead of paying $250-300 for springs, and another $350-400 for less expensive shocks (total $600-700), just get the 4/3 koni for $732 from Sam. Use the stock springs on the lower perch/rear hose mod. You'll have a great setup instead of a crappy setup that cost nearly as much.
..I think your rough ride had more to do with the speed you are impacting your full suspension travel and less to do with the smaller amount of suspension travel. Less suspension travel isn't ideal for ride quality no doubt, but you can't overlook the fact that stock shocks are pretty much cacca and don't slow down the speed that the spring compresses or rebounds.

Still on stock shocks.
Like I mentioned in my first post.. satisfaction with your setup and how much your springs are dampened can be two entirely different things. If your happy then no need to change anything I guess. It's possible however, that there might be a realm of better damping that you're unaware of that you may prefer better than stock shocks.
