You're going to run the risk of prematurely wearing out the shocks when you lower the car, regardless of what option you go with. There's people with the oem performance suspension who have gotten leaky shocks. It just boils down to what you value most:

Springs - cheap but no height/ride adjust
HAS - semi cheap with just height adjust
Coils - expensive but have height/ride adjust

I wanted height adjustability but didn't want to break the bank so HAS worked for me.

In the past I have tried springs, HAS kits and coils and have never had an issue with the shocks in any configuration.
