Every car is different so i can't tell you exactly but it won't be as long as the struts would last normally. If you needed new struts and you wanted to lower your car, why didn't you just put up the extra cash and get higher performance struts. Your going to end up spending more than you have to if you put the pro-kit on. I hate to say it but before you get blasted by some other members on the forums, you really should have read the FAQ.

Pro Kit lowers around an inch and a half, right? You "can" lower on stock struts and they will last a while, but in no way am I promoting it. I rode around for over two years on Sprint springs (1.8" drop) on stock struts, but hated the ride the whole time, not to mention it was dangerous.

the harder you drive it (hard turns and such) and the more people you have in the car while doing that the less time it will last. You will most likely get 1-2 years out of the struts tho at least but again like said above its hard to say.

It can blow in a month in can blow in 6 months. Depending on your driving conditions it will depends. If you roads are not smooth and you bottom out a lot it may be a month. Smooth Road it could be 6 months never know can even blow in a week.
