I am not sure that anybody can tell you how a set of ACS Spring will affect the wear of the shocks in the long run as they cannot have been installed that long ago. From my experience the ACS Springs offer a great balance between lowering, handling and ride comfort. Because the drop is not that radical, I tend to believe that damage to the shocks is less likely. Let's put it this way, if I load my car with 4 people counting myself, the car would probably sit lower than with the ACS springs. Because of the ACS springs are stiffer, when I load up the car with 4 people it does not drop as much as with the standard springs. For that reason I would think that damage to the shocks is not likely.
All that being said, I am not a suspension expert and cannot be sure of this. What I can tell you is that the drop is about 3/4" to 1" and the ride and handling is great compared to stock. I am running 21" Alpina wheels with non RFT tires and the ride is better than the stock suspension with RFT tires.
Good luck!. Whatever you chose, I hope your are happy with your decision.
Cheers,

Jose, as I understand you just had them mounted on your f10 not too long ago and i assume the springs havent completely settled.. Whenever you have a chance, could you please let me know how much is the final drop (after they are completely settled)? I dont want too much of a drop and the 3/4" to 1" is perfect for me...
Thanks
