neuspeed race springs are pretty harsh springs for the street (me and nearly everyone of my friends had them at one point or another).
anyway, either choice won't be ideal in the long run. even my fckin GABs with the shortened rods started getting soft, after 30k miles with race springs.

ive had agx's and they did well and are easy to adjust.
but if i could do it all over again id fork out more for koni yellows
or go back farther in time and get a tein setup or similar

There's no set amount of lowering that will mess up shocks. It has to do with how stiff the springs are and also how low they make the car (i.e. how much suspension travel they eat up). The Neuspeed Race springs not only lower the car a ton but they are also very stiff, stiffer than the springs you get with GC coilovers. Personally I would get something else. H&R Sport lower the car plenty and handle just fine with either AGX or Illumina.

a spring that is too short affects the rod travel of the shock...so there is a relationship between drop and shock life.

specially if the shock is not designed for that much reduced travel and work in the extreme range of the motion.
