The springs do match the valving well.
We wouldn't expect any OEM to warranty their shock with any aftermarket spring. In our experience, the soft low springs do cause a shorter lifetime for the shock due to bottoming out excessively. We have never designed soft low springs, and in 5+ years of making springs for Evo and sti have not had real issues. Some difference, perhaps, but the shocks have held up nicely.

I posted laptimes and lateral g's with my stock suspension in the show n shine forum (thread called something like "PGP lapping day vids and pics"). The track is very handling oriented, power makes very little difference. Check out pacificgp.com for track info
The GTWORX springs, along with power steering bushings, whiteline RCK, rear diff and subframe inserts, and +30whp picked up a little over a second on my sisters sti at that track and got rid of tons of understeered and bodyroll. So based on their sti products, I know Gtworx gives results from personal experience

If I can get the 25th off work for a track day, I'll have an answer for laptimes and lateral g's. 0-60 isn't really impacted much, there is more variation in human error then these springs vs stock as far as acceleration goes...

I had exactly that experience the first time my daughter rode with me on ice. I knew what was coming and said (quite calmly, in fact), "honey, we're going off." She turned to look at me and asked, "what does 'off' mean?" but before I could answer, she learned by experience.
No damage at all and she still wants to co-drive. She's 12.
Hope your off was as uneventful.
