In short, no aftermarket springs are good with stock shocks
new springs = new shocks thats the rule of thumb because shocks aren't made to handle lowered springs.
The maximum lifetime you can get with stock shocks and aftermarket springs (assuming the drop is < 2") is ~ 3 years depending on how rough you drive.
Heard king springs are fairly stiff though so stock shock liftime will be < ~2 years correct me if i'm wrong. Heard some people blew there stock shocks on king springs after a year.
If your after budget shocks look at either Koni SRT.T or Tokico Blues (or illuminas which has damper adjustment).
Hope this helps

Just take your entire strut out and install these with Tein S Tech springs.... Hassle free and you will be out on the streets alot quicker, as there is no need to remove your springs out of the strut and then reinsert new springs. Also should you need to return to stock hieght its vice versa and you are off...
Do you have a spring compressor tool? As you will be needing one if you don't to swap springs SAFELY!
My mate had king springs super lows with stock shocks on his ek. Looked okay on 14 inch wheels but had a few finger gaps so could go lower. Overall it runs well and still runs fine to this day. So i guess they're okay
