This could wear out a strut quicker since this would increase the amount of total movement. It'd also be bad for handling and ride comfort.
So if I install Koni Yellows w/ adjustable dampening would I be able to dial in the right amount of dampening?

I'm going for the Nismo springs cause I like the ride height and seems like the cheapest way to get better handling. If I got the Swift lowering springs I'd eventually have to invest in camber arms and traction rods; not so with the Nismo springs. I've also read that wheel spacers can help protect wheel bearings.
