They will reduce the life of the stock struts, but they won't put you in danger. You're almost always better off buying a decent set of dampers with the springs though, unless you're REALLY broke. But the Tein S-tech's are usually OK on stock struts since there isn't really much of a drop.

Here is some good info for you that you can rely on...
If the shocks you already have on your ride are bad, or if they are New Springs and are badly matched to their damping characteristics, handling of your ride can and will be poor.
In other word, get new LOWERING Shocks when you lower and you shouldn't ever have that problem. This will also help prevent fender-rub and give you a excellant cornering stance..
Hope this helps you out...
