ive done it loads with no issues
i have seen punto 1's done that spun into a tyre mind, never on my many fiesta 1/2/3/4 or esort 3/4/5/6 tho
propper stuff is obviously better but choped was the stardard the day any of our lot got a new car then propper was fitted if it turned up
legally is shudnt be loose in the cup when jacked up, ive been in an escort cabbie with NO springs in the rear and sat on cut down bumpstops, it wasnt pleasant but damn did it go round corners
