Actually many believe the OE dampers to be valved too 'stiff' for the OE springs, that's why the car takes so well to a stiffer lowering spring and many report equal or better ride quality on aftermarket lowering springs and stock dampers when compared to the OE springs.
On another car that's likely a valid argument against lowering springs + OE dampers, but not so much for the 86.
