That's what KYB says, so if you run into problems they might not warranty anything. They will work, as I did the same on my Integra (dropped about 2.25 or so).

A regular shock/strut works when the shaft pushes a piston moving either gas or oil or something else into chambers inside the body. If your car is too low, it makes this shaft position the piston in a "middle area" where there is gas/fluid in more than a standard number of chambers. This just reduces the life a little. Nothing to worry about too much unless you are running stock shocks/struts.

Wow....not even going to comment on that post right above.

Anyway, I ran it for quite a long time. Never had any problems. Drove and handled excellent along with my ITR rear sway bar, full strut tower bars, and polyurethane bushings all around.
