I used stock gas charged struts for my lowering job. It's been so long since I've dropped that car (about 2") I can't remember how old they are... must be going on 8 years or so with no issues.

As I understand it, by shortening the spring, the shock/damper stays at a more compressed state than it is designed for. And even under ideal operating conditions, shocks/dampers will eventually need to be rebuilt or replaced. Of course, maybe I'm just too used to dealing with performance cars. Regardless, as they say, YMMV.
