This is untrue. The lowering on this kit is done at the lower bracket and there for the stroke and preload is not altered when lowering more. The shock life as it relates to road use is independent from the vehicle height when set up correctly.

My TSX is lowered 2.25" and so far has withstood my ruthless driving style and 2 track days.
