i doubt it. are you talking about w/ them installed? they're really rough on 16.

i doubt you will want to run w/ them all the way stiff but i'm sure they are designed to operate properly through the whole adjustment range.

I had tiens ss and had it LOW. I also live in So Cal. where 95.9% of the time some road contruction is going on. I usually keep them on 12, but i had them on 14, and each time i hit a pot hole, or when the road is leveled due to the contruction *where the new road meets the old road and they haven't fix it yet, there's like a 2.5 inch different in the road* my car will eat it hard. The car would absorb all the shock and not the teins
But do they affect the life? I "think" that having them on the hardest/stiffest would reduced the life compared to having it soft. Stock suspension wears out if we lower our cars, so assuming you leave it on stiff it would have the same affect. Just my thought, but might be wrong.

EDFC let you adjust the dampning rate without getting out of the car. You can see the pic in my gallery.

well i just emailed TEIN USA, this is what they said:
Will,
No, if you set the damper setting at full stiff it will not hurt or shorten
the life of the shocks. When we do the R&D our suspension we have to make
our suspension products every durable for street and racing use. If you
have anymore questions please feel free to contact us. Thank you for your
interest in Tein High Performance Suspension.
Best regards,
Sales

Well if Tein says it doesn't then it doesn't. But I still believe if u hit a pothole or something and your suspension is max stiffness, something is bound to give. It's gas inside so something has to blow under imense pressure right?
