Lowering with adjustable dampers?

Lowering with adjustable dampers?
I have a 2013 GT500 with SVT package (which includes the electronic adjustable dampers). I want to lower the car.
I know typically you get new dampers after replacing springs but I want to keep these dampers since they're electronic adjustable and I paid a lot for them hahaha.
I'm wondering, if I get springs that drop the car 1", will that ruin my dampers?
Thanks

An inch isn't that drastic of a drop. I know guys who have been running 1"-1.25" drops on various years for a while-to-long time with no issues. The ride quality on the other hand is a different issue.

I have Eibach Pro-kits with Koni Sports, and the ride quality (along with performance) is considerably better than what I got from the stock Brembo Package suspension, especially at highway speeds, where the stock suspension was frustratingly "bouncy".

Back on topic -- the goal is to keep the electronic 2-mode adjustable dampers that came with the car while lowering 1".
I want the 1" drop for improved handling as well as appearance, but I don't want to sacrifice the ability to put it in grandma-soft mode at the push of a button when driving around in San Francisco.
