Ease up buddy....people make mistakes. 
Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.

I am just wondering why they will die? I have the Eibachs/ST200s for over 100k and no problems.

Hector - she bought KYB's  They're even softer and cheaper than the OEM struts.

A lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine!

It's a totally different ball game here.
I know. I'm just saying how much they suck for even a stock spring.

I Had The Same Setup On My CSVT And The Front StrutsWere Still Holding Up for Well Over 6000 Miles Until I Hit The Front End Of My Car With A Wall... The Only Downside That I Came Accross Was OverSudden Dips In The Road, The Front End Would Sometimes Bottom Out Due To The KYB's Not So Good Valving....But It Will Definitely Get You Around For A Year Or So Until You Decide To Go With Something Better. B&G Ride Height Rules!!!! 
CSVT E0 3L
14.5 @ 94mph, Stock Intake, Stock Exhaust minus Resonator, CEL, And Broken Pass. Side CV...Untuned.
