On a dc2, if the shocks have been worn out for quite some time, in the long run does it do much internal damages? just curious. thanks.

not really. lol ur car will prob lean to one side if ur parking on a flat road etc. lol, depends also, if ur on stock springs or lowered. stock springs should be fine.

May not cause any internal damage but I think it would create safety risks to your car whist driving.

I had some leaking/worn shocks on my 98' Integra not long ago and they caused the car to bounce heavily when driving on uneven roads. My understanding is that the shocks are there to adjust to road conditions and keep your tyres on the road… worn shocks may reduce the ability to do this...?

well i do drive quite safely, getting my coilovers soon but my shocks have been gone for a while and was just wondering if it would screw up anything when i change em. besides bad handling everything else should be alright i guess?
