Default Blowing stuts

I have a Civic Si 2002 and want a drop with a set of springs. If I put the springs and a camber adjustment kit on the vehicle and had it professionaly installed and adjusted. Does this mean that ultimately the stock shock/struts ( not sure ) will eventully burst ( not literally ) or fail?

Do lowering springs equal f*cked up stock strut/shock? Is it inevitable?

Just depends on how you drive.

Before I had coilovers on my GS-T, I was simply dropped on S.Techs and an SPC camber kit. I drove the **** out of it, and in about 6 months, the OEM struts were shot.

But I am pretty sure that if you granny drive it, you should be ok for a while. But who really drives their car like that.?
