You should be able to use it with any aftermarket or stock shock. The coilover kit basically sits under the spring and adjusts up and down. The spring is completely separate from the shock so there shouldn't be any problems using whatever shocks you have. You will probably have a better ride quality with an aftermarket shock. Let me know if you are interested.

This is the same as if you put a lowering spring on a stock shock or on an aftermarket shock, the ride height doesn't change much, just the ride quality.
Please let me know if I am wrong here. Thanks.

You are saying that the spring rate is the factor that makes the difference so no matter what shock you put, the ride height would be consistent, no matter if it was a stiff shock or not.

I'm saying that coilover springs are shorter then aftermarket spring. And because it shorter with less suspension travel, the springs load rating are much higher and much much stiffer. These type of springs is fine if you combined it with an adjustable rebound and compression damper struts/shock. But these type of springs would not work specially with stock struts/shock. In general, you want to go with stiffer struts/shocks to control the springs not with stiffer springs and have a weak stock struts/shocks that can't control the springs. Plus, springs are designed to go in set (front and rear). On factory cars, the spring rate are based on the weight of the car. This is why they designed one set for the V6 and V8 engine due to the weight different. I know for a facts that the W209 stock struts/shocks can't handle the aftermarket springs even with Eibach springs known to be the less stiff then any others.
