How can he quantify that? Just because the compression is increased? Logic might support as such over a long long term of use. I have been lowering all my cars (30+) and never had a shock issue. One will get geometry change but unless you are putting a ton of miles that will cause extreme wear and tear you should be fine.

All 5 cars in my sig are lowered and I have the C63 BS for more than 7 years with no issues. The AMG GTS has been around for over 4+. Now granted these cars are not mileage whores so it all depends on how much driving you will do IMHO.
