Clearly the best setup is to have springs that are matched to strut dampening or vice versa. I have not noticed spring sag or obviously blown out struts when running lowering springs but if the car is 10 yrs old, the stock struts are pretty far gone already and probably won't play well with stiffer springs. My impression from student cars running HR springs was simply "stock probably handled better." YMMV
