No it should be fine. But you should eventually get shocks and not just go the cheap way.

the shocks will prematurely fail but how long will they last

I have heard they can last 80k plus but you should just upgrade the whole thing.

Hi.  I just installed Eibach Pro springs on my '06 A4, 2.0T.  I retained the stock shocks.  I had the basic suspension.  It dropped the car about 1.5 inches.  Just right for me.  there is still a small wheel well gap.  The surprising thing was that the ride quality improved!  It is smoother now.  The body roll greatly reduced without being harsh.  I have about 1000 miles on the car with the new springs, and I love the feel now.  Good luck.  BTW there are some great DIYs on replacing the springs.  One thing that helped me hugely with the rears was a little silicone spray lube to help the springs slide in to place.  Good luck.  I am eager to hear your impressions of the swap...
