Time to replace shocks?
I have Goldline springs on my xA for over 25k miles and I notice the ride is getting more rough and rough. I thought I read somewhere that lowering springs shortens the lifespan of the shocks but I'm not sure what are the symtons for a need of shock replacements. When do know for sure its time to get new shocks?

There is 2 ways i know of.
1) visible inspection. Look for oil leaks.
2) pick a corner of your car. Press up and down on that corner a couple of times. If the car doesnt bounce up and down your shocks are still ok. If it bounces up and down a couple of times, the shock/strut is shot.
I have a lot more miles then that on my stock suspension, and it still rides just fine.
