Default Question about putting sleeve coilovers onto aftermarket struts.

Hey I was just wondering. Will a coilover/aftermarket strut combination set at like a 3.5in drop eventually blow the struts?

I'm not attempting this, but its just a question I had on mind.

what? that made no sense. but no i'm not attempting it. I'm asking because the guy that i bought my car off of had the car dumped on ground controls and billstien shocks and I want to know if the shocks are fucked up.

its best to use lowering springs/ coilover sleeves with aftermarket shocks because they are stronger than stock and will last longer
