any car should technically have shortened shocks if it has lowered springs!! lowering the car and keeping the shocks the same can be dangerous as the shock is made or the standard spring height not 60mm shorter!!!!

Ive got KONI adjustables on my GSi for now. Tbh they are the best dampers Ive found as Ive had a right mare in the past with others tuff not performing.

They will cope with a -60mm drop, the thing is if you reduce the travel (lowering) then the travel left is lesser & the adjustability isnt going to do much. However they are plenty good enough & about 16000 times better than the black Bilsteins I put in the bin.
