will this be fine? will the lower springs damage the shocks?

thank you for any help.
I used to have this setup temporary in my previous MCB S2K until I got the Teins on, and now I have the same Eibach springs in my new NFR S2K. Here is a picture of it. Click on them to get high resolution.
As for the damage, you might reduce a bit the coilover lifetime but not as much.
I have the Eibachs and think they're great. I was expecting a more harsh or abrupt ride but I've gotta say ride quality, especially over small bumps and road imperfections actually feel better than stock. It's not a severe drop but it really looks nice. It looks like the car should have looked from the factory. Between a 1-2 finger gap and balanced f-r with maybe an ever so slight rake - at least on mine.
I also have eibachs. Just put them on last week actually. I couldn't be happier with the results. The car looks so much better and the ride is great. I drive alot of miles and use my S as a DD, and the eibachs are great. I've had other lowered cars, but with this setup you don't feel like you have downgraded the car by lowering it.
Pro-kit is supposed to be 1" all around though I found the drop in front to be at least 1/8" more than the back vs. stock springs. I got about 15/16" drop up front and about 3/4- 13/16" in back. There is a margin of error using just a tape measure though...and yes, I pre-loaded the suspension and verified spring #'s w/Eibach. Wheel/tire sizes would have an impact on overall gap too I would imagine.
