your car will be bouncy like a boat and later on you will scratch your bottom most of time. with tein will kill your strut faster than eibach because it lower more.

worn out struts aren't bad or anything, it will just be an uncomfortable ride.

the worse it will do will "bottom out." meaning the shaft hits the bottom of the strut housing.
