I beleive the most common damage to lower housings is bent/bropken flanges or dented/distorted body due to impact.

Tell them you have done it before, and want spares for each side. Especially on inverted struts, the shafts, and actual damper monotube can remain unscathed. In my coilover research, I saw pictures of some mangled DMSes that were fine except the lower housing was thrashed. They actually design their flanges to fail hopefully before doing damage to the damper.
