Lowering, shocks question...

Just a question regarding the shocks with the Tein Basic kit I have... Is it true that the more you lower the car on the adjustable thread, the faster and easier the shocks will tend to leak, break or bust versus only lowering it slightly?

I would think that they are designed to withstand this use but it may shorten life to an extent. My question is who rides on coilovers at a stock heigth anyway? Contact Tein.

Megan is super good about giving answers hopefully Tein will provide you with a response
