PT GT struts and shocks

Hi there,
New to the forum.
I have a question for the masses. I own a '04 PT GT. I"ve owned it since new. About seven years ago I installed Eibach springs along with a set of Eibach sway bars. Nice stuff. At the time I installed KYB front struts and rear shocks. Due to the lowered stance of the springs, the struts didn't last long. Oh about a year before they started leaking. Now they just bottom out. Rears are clunking. Fast forward a couple of months ago. I ordered Koni front and rear shocks from a good online speedshop. They emailed me back a few days later explaining that Koni discontinued the shocks. I tried for Bilstein shocks with the same outcome. Discontinued. I really don't want to install KYB's again. They don't last with the set up I have. I'm looking for struts and shocks that will live in a lowered state. They offer coil overs, but, I've got these Eibach springs I'd hate to part with. Any suggestions??
Thanks, Guy

Welcome to Allpar.

I'm going to move this to Performance, so that you get some more view on your tech issue.

I know that sometimes using a shock specified for a different vehicle will work when one needs to go shorter (GM BoF guys use Jeep shocks for example), I do not know how the suspension in this particular vehicle lends itself to that or not though.

Why not go with the matching Eibach Pro-Dampers or whatever else they suggest to match their lowered springs? Also check the Watt's link in the rear as they can fail and rattle over bumps.
