Regardless of brand, when you are talking about lowering springs two things are always going to be true; 1) the ride will be more firm than stock to some degree 2) you will have less overall suspension travel. What that means is that when you hit those bad spots you will feel more regardless of brand. Period. That doesn't mean it has to be severe. BMR makes great lowering springs and I have ran them on 2 of my Camaros.
You shouldn't be at any additional risk of breaking anything. You dampers are going to be working a little harder so the service life of those may be slightly reduced but driving crappy roads constantly is going to do that regardless.

If you are focusing mostly on drag racing then that is a great option. If you are looking for better autoX/track handling then the front and rear adjustables are what you want.
