Anthing bigger than a dropped curb will be on the bump stops.

If you fit the springs on standard shocks you'll find yourself clenching your arse and lifting yourself off the seat over every manhole cover!!

If the dampers are intended for standard ride height then you'll end up with rubbish 'choppy' handling. Matched springs and dampers are the way to go.

If you just want it to look 'bad ass' and don't care too much for the handling then go for it
