They blow because people run springs which are soft(designed for the stock shocks), but the car is lowered to the point where it bottoms out often. The solution is better shocks, stiffer springs, and/or less lowering.

Look at RCE products, they are designed more for performance and less for looks. Their springs have a mild drop and higher spring rates than most brands.

If you drive slow on big compressions(like speedbumps) and never bottom out, I don't see why the stock shocks wouldn't last a long time on soft springs.
