Lowering Springs

Guys.....about to fit my lowering springs (eibach pro) and the shop tried to advise me to go for a full suspension set up. I understand that the full system is better but will the shocks really wear out that quickly with the eibachs!? Will it really effect the suspension set up negatively!?

Sounds like a sales job to me.
While it's true that other suspension components can wear quicker, it's not something that you need to be overly worried about.
I've dropped my 2 previous cars on eibachs and drove those cars for 4+ years with no issues.
It is strongly advised however to get an alignment done that brings your parameters as close to oem as possible post-drop.

I'd go to a different shop. Any shop trying that hard to sell you is a bad idea.
