A decent performance strut will hold up better than stock, but the sportlines are said to be hard on even the best aftermarket shocks. I would go with some Tokico HP's; they're valved for a performance application and fairly inexpensive considering their quality. Modern Performance has them for less than $300 (set of 4).

I've been running on KYB GR2 for about 40k+ with no problem as well. I'm happy with how the car rides. I'm not going for luxury car so I'm cool with the stiffness.

i have them on the acr struts. they're really bouncy, but handle great, and i have yet to blow a strut after several years.
