As for the argument reference shocks. Aftermarket shocks have a SHORTER piston so even when its fully extended its not as extended as the standard item. Its also a lot stiffer which helps control the spring. Standard shocks will let the spring bounce loads wheras a good set of koni dampers will try to hold the spring still more so it only rises and falls really slowly(in comparison) this makes the car handle a lot better by reducing roll and lowering the centre of gravity (in combination with the springs)
Springs should not be changed without matching dampers,especially if goin any lower than a 35mm drop.
For instance standard dampers and -80mm springs. The springs would fully compress and the coils would all touch eachother as the soft vaux dampers can not prevent the spring movement as well as koni items for instance.And when u only have an inch or two of travel in the spring the STANDARD damper dont stand a chance as its soft
