Default Springs help

I want to go lower with my estate by 25mm. so question is cold i just replace springs with new eibach springs and live my dumpers unchanged, or i must change dumpers?

I know it's better to change both, but... what is down side if stay with factory fitted?

Eibachs should be just fine on their own.

Eibach springs will be just fine on the standard dampers.

Warranty will be effected on the suspension.

But Eibach springs are black and look factory, some wouldnt notice.
