Why would you think they couldn't? The PP and non-PP come with the same springs from the factory, so factory PP and non-PP dampers can definitely be run with the same springs. If anything I might guess the Sachs dampers could be more compatible with stiffer/lower springs.

also what's so good about this Sach shocks?
The definitely make the car feel more go-kart like. As mentioned above, more "crashy". IMO they have too much high-speed compression damping which seems maybe a bit gimmicky. But perhaps they offer better low-speed damping as well which again if anything would be more appropriate for stiffer/lower springs.

do they make your car more comfortable and handles better than the non-PP shocks?
The PP Sachs dampers definitely make the car *less* comfortable. I test-drove PP and non-PP back-to-back an the non-PP is a smoother ride for sure. As for ultimate handling, I couldn't say for sure.

FWIW I'm running the factory PP Sachs dampers with Swift BRZ Sport springs which lowered the car 1.25" and are ~40% stiffer than stock. The car performs very well at the track and I don't get the sense that it is underdamped for these springs.
