In theory there should be little accelerated wear vs stock springs.

However in theory it's more complicated than just height of the springs that can affect the dampers. If the spring rate is vastly different or too progressive then it could cause the dampers to go back and forth between compression and rebound far too quick for the internal valving and could also affect the wear.

Personally I think this MSS kit seems to be the balance between practicality and performance just judging from Imran's review so I wouldn't think it will drastically reduced damper lifespan
