it's actually probably better for the factory damper since it doesn't keep them as compressed as they would be.
The spacers they are talking about here are wheel spacers not spring spacers

​​​​​​​I personally would not run wheel spacers but thats just me

I've had the same setup with eibach spacers for about a year with 0 issues. I randomly check spacers for cracks or anything that could negatively affect their integrity. So far so good! Imo, it dramatically Improves looks of the car over stock.

depends on whether you've ever done any work on cars before.........it's not hard but if you've never done suspension before consider the ramifications of improper suspension work.

Wheel spacers=not good (usually)
Spring spacers=good (most of the time)
it really boils down to leave it to the engineers, or do what you want to make it look better.
I, myself, lean towards the performance aspect. Fast usually looks good as a bonus!
