Tempos have struts all around.
I suppose it's a YMMV thing, if your model doesn't have as much travel to begin with, it has less to spare i.e. 2" "lost" is a bigger deal. Tempos have pretty generous travel for a small car.
Cutting is better than heating, I've read. The temper isn't messed up.
I've read of guys that really wanted that slammed look that removed the jounce dampers for a bit more "clearance". I'd imagine they experienced a lot of strut failures. I'd think even with the donuts in, if they were hit up against often and hard enough, that would wreck the strut too. Combine that with mag adverts and adverts disguised as articles with the intent of pushing new aftermarket product and voila- "all stock struts will fail with dropped springs"- it becomes urban legend.
