lowering springs can wear out your shocks faster. the lower you go the more it changes your suspension geometry and the OEM shocks were designed to pair with a certain set of springs, the OEM ones. A lot of people accept the risk and get the springs anyways because they want the look, for cheap. Shocks will probably still last a few years even with lowering springs so most people won't care. The "proper" way to lower your car is with coilovers (which are designed to allow adjusting ride height without changing spring rate), or a matched set of springs and shocks (a fixed change in ride height). For instance on my MR2 I added Eibach Pro Kit springs but also upgraded to Koni shocks at the same time. Still no problems some 10 years later...
