The intake won't cause any issues for you, nor will running stock shocks with lowered springs. The springs don't lower enough to damage the shocks at an accelerated rate. Make sure to get an alignment right after. I had mine installed as part of my purchase deal, currently 53000 kms on them with no issues besides the ACS springs being stiff.

Dinan is a big difference over stock, coupled with the down pipe boost comes on really hard. I also ran JB4, which, was much better bang for your buck over Dinan. The car becomes an animal with JB4. Dinan is more noticeable in part throttle situations which is good around town. It's worth it to me just for the warranty, out of warranty I'd be putting my JB4 back in.
