Standard dampers are not designed for this, they'll last about a week.

Not a waste of money but you'll need to buy uprated dampers for them...

The standard dampers are just too easy or 'fast' for the uprated higher poundage springs and it will cause bad handling and bounce. You can 'live' with std dampers but be warned - its like driving around with crap brakes.

Another bad problem with lowered springs and std dampers, especially 60mm lowered is that the std dampers have too much extension for the shortened springs so the springs will unseat when jacked or if you catch air and theirs even the possibility that the rear springs will just fall out all together (MOT faliure so illegal IF the cops checked)...
